Chapter 2415: Stubborn Potatoes

It’s time to show off your sword!

As soon as the meeting broke up, the warriors ran out impatiently.

The so-called sword show was probably Fang Xing's joke when the court was about to end, in which the children of each family came to show their swords to see if they were mules or horses.

As for Xu Jingchang, it was fine that he was not in a hurry. He actually waited until the court was over and asked Fang Xing whether he was a swordsman or a scoundrel.

Those words are still lingering in the ears of martial artists.

"Uncle Xinghe, the sword is not a sword, or is it cheap?"

This guy really wanted to be beaten. If he hadn't been worried about going home quickly and arranging the boys at home to prepare, Xu Jingchang would definitely be besieged today.

The emperor praised everyone in the past, and then came back later. It was clear that he first praised and then suppressed.

Seeing that the military honors were in a hurry, a civil servant deliberately said loudly: "This is Your Majesty's grace! As long as Your Majesty shows his hand during the review and does not say anything else in the future, he will definitely have a bright future."

What he said made sense. Several martial arts masters slowed down their steps and then smiled, as if the boys in the family were unparalleled in martial arts and could irritate their grandson to death with their military skills.

Seeing that most of the warriors were anxious, and only Fang Xing and Xu Jingchang were walking behind slowly, Jin Youzi asked deliberately: "Is Uncle Xinghe confident?"

Both Tudou and Ping An were students at the academy, but they were not martial arts disciples who had been practicing martial arts and learning the art of war since childhood, so everyone felt that the Fang family was going to make a fool of themselves this time.

Fang Xing didn't look back and said, "It doesn't matter whether we win or lose. My children are not playboys."

The words were very vague. When Jin Youzi wanted to make fun of him, Yang Rong responded: "Back then, Emperor Wen didn't say that Xinghe Bo was a martial artist."

Damn it!

Only then did everyone think of this incident, and suddenly felt that Fang Xing was really lucky.

Emperor Wen wanted to leave Fang Xing to his descendants, and Emperor Ren's reign was short, so he had no time to adjust these things, but what about your majesty today?

His Majesty clearly wears the same pants as him today!

These thoughts flashed through the minds of the ministers, and Huang Huai said: "His family does not need to participate."

This is a whirlpool. A single review can reveal the true colors of the honorable relatives. Most of them will become scum in the eyes of the emperor, and those who win the first prize will also be isolated.

Isn't the emperor planning to use his relatives to fight against civil servants again?

There was a gloomy look on Yang Rong's eyebrows. When Yang Shiqi saw it, he came over and asked, "Are you worried that the government will lose control?"

Yang Rongji became Wushuang. Hearing this, he squinted at Fang Xing who was walking away and said, "What will we get if we gain the upper hand?"

Yang Shiqi said: "You can use what you have learned as much as possible."

"You're still doing the same thing!"

Yang Rong sighed: "In the former Song Dynasty, civilian officials were in charge, which was lame!"

Yang Shiqi disagreed with this view and said: "The former Song Dynasty died due to party strife. What does it have to do with civilian rule?"

This is a difference in the way of governing. If it is magnified, it will lead to political strife, and even separate parties.

Yang Rong's expression was solemn and his eyes were flashing. Just as Yang Pu came over, the three of them laughed and said a few words, but Yang Rong took up what he started and said: "It is good for civilians to be in charge, but without military restraint, this Officials are afraid of party strife!"

Yang Puda disagreed with this, but he refused to argue with Yang Rong. He just smiled and talked about another topic and turned the matter over.

…

When Fang Xing returned home, he asked Tudou where he was.

Tudou is at Feng's house now.

It has been ten days since the incident, but there has been no movement from the Chen family. I heard that even Chen Zhong did not sing and dance at the house, but drank a lot of wine.

This actually seems to mean being depressed.

The Feng family has been worried for a long time, and the New Year has not been a good one.

Tudou came to Feng's house to deliver the news.

"The Taining Marquis Mansion has been very honest recently. Their housekeepers who go out for shopping no longer dare to show off their power, and they are said to have released more than a dozen older maids to accompany the servants, which was not done before."

Feng Youwei also knew something about the Taining Hou Mansion, so he was surprised when he heard this: "Did the Hou Mansion actually become charitable?"

Tudou doesn’t know, but according to the news he got,

Chen Zhong seemed to be frightened by someone.

…

During the court meeting, Chen Zhong had been avoiding Fang Xing.

At first he felt angry, and even more so, he felt a little cowardly.

After Fang Xing and the emperor cooperated to lead the relatives into the ditch, he felt that he must be lucky that he did not provoke Fang Xing in the court.

When he returned home, he asked his son to be called, and then began to give him some details.

"This review is extraordinary. It is related to the inheritance of the title and specific errands in the future. Your martial arts is average, and your military skills are only average, so don't show off at first. Wait until you see clearly what those people are capable of before taking action. But remember Come on, don’t mess with the boys from Fang Xing’s family!”

Chen Zhong became angry when he mentioned this. After his son left, he called Zhou Donglai.

"The gatekeeper needs to be replaced by someone more stable, and the people involved in that incident..."

…

Tudou was called in when he returned home.

"...You are still young, you just went to watch the show."

Seeing him coming, Fang Xing, who was talking to Ping An, nodded slightly with a lukewarm expression, which made Tudou feel a little uneasy.

Wuyou and Huanhuan were both at the side, led by their respective mothers, and listened to Fang Xing's words honestly.

"What your Majesty has just decided, in the future, in martial arts, promising boys from various families can try it. Your Majesty will personally review it and select the best ones for recruitment in the future."

Fang Xing was looking at him, Tudou said without hesitation: "Dad, my child is willing to go."

Fang Xing smiled, and Zhang Shuhui beside him felt relieved, but then she became worried.

"I have three sons, Huanhuan is still young, and has not yet been enlightened, so he can't go."

"Dad!"

Huanhuan shouted over there, and Fang Xing smiled. Seeing Mochou scratching his back, he said, "Wait until you grow up before going."

Potato continued, "Ping'an is also still young, and I am willing to take on this matter."

Ping'an did not argue. At their age, being one year younger is a disadvantage, and there will be a big difference in physical strength and physical aspects.

Fang Xing was very satisfied with the relationship between the brothers, so he talked about the specifics: "Personal martial arts will no longer be the mainstream in the future, but it is also indispensable, but more of it is firearms, so you and Ping'an go, if you are training, then use firearms. If others provoke a fight, don't go to show off with Lao Qi and them."

Potato agreed one by one, and then the maid came outside, saying that the servants were waiting for the two young masters outside.

Fang Xing encouraged, "Go ahead. It's not a drill. Just familiarize yourself with firearms."

After they left, Fang Xing told his dissatisfied wives and concubines about his plan.

"As for our underage children, I can talk to His Majesty and exempt our children from the review. But you have to think about it. We are not the only family with underage children. If others go and Tudou doesn't go, will he feel weak and incompetent in the future?"

Children are mostly stubborn, just like they found out about the little ambiguity between Tudou and Feng Lin, but Fang Xing didn't break them up like other adults, and even helped them secretly.

Zhang Shuhui is the daughter of a general, so she has some concerns: "Husband, other families have swords and guns, but only Tudou has firearms. Will he be despised?"

The firing rate of a bow and arrow is much faster than that of a musket.

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "No, firearms are the general trend. They can only envy us, but they can't help but despise us verbally."

As the woman with the lowest status in the family, Mochou waited until they finished talking before saying, "Madam, there are often some soldiers who go to Shenxianju for dinner, and they are envious of the firearms and guards!"

Zhang Shuhui felt more at ease, and Xiaobai also advised, "Madam, what are we afraid of! Besides, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, Xin Laoqi and the others will follow and beat their mouths to pieces."

Fang Xing smiled and got up and went out, leaving the place for the three women to chat about children's affairs.

When they arrived at the front yard, Xin Laoqi and his men had already set up the target, and Tu Dou was checking a musket.

This is definitely against the rules, just like the generals in the former Song Dynasty secretly hiding bed crossbows at home.

However, the review was imminent, and Zhu Fang had tested the guns at Fang's house many times when he made muskets, so Fang Xing pretended not to see it.

The targets were set up over there, and Xin Laoqi said, "Young Master, shoot while standing first, then shoot while on horseback."

Tu Dou nodded, and then the sound of gunfire rang out in the front yard.
