Chapter 2514: Returning Home After a Long Away

What is home?

For Fang Xingxing, home is the proof of his existence in this world.

The spring sunshine makes people slightly warm.

Fang Xing stood outside Fangjiazhuang, with a fan from Dongchang talking behind him.

"Uncle, your majesty is here to guard you. Once I see you, I will ask you to enter the palace as soon as possible."

Fang Xing was looking at Zhuangzi and suddenly said, "Why do I feel a little strange!"

Na Fanzi said casually: "Uncle, this is what happens after you have been away from home for a long time. I have seen those who have been away from home for more than ten years, and they look like lunatics. Most of them will kneel down and cry."

"yes!"

Fang Xing suddenly smiled: "I wonder if Wuyou still remembers me as his father? Let's go!"

He rushed into the village on horseback and shouted: "Uncle, come into the palace, come into the palace!"

"Nothing urgent, we'll talk about it tomorrow!"

The closer he got to the door of his home, the faster Fang Xing felt his heart beat.

He had never been away from his family for so long that he thought there would be a family of people he didn't recognize walking out of the main house.

"father!"

Wuyou's shouts were filled with joy and disbelief. Just when Fang Xing was about to dismount, she rushed over, threw herself into Fang Xing's arms and cried, "Dad, you have been gone for a long time, and you have forgotten me." "

Fang Xing nodded to his wife and concubines, then squatted down and touched Wuyou's head, and said, "You've grown so tall. Dad didn't forget to bring you a lot of things."

When Pingan arrived at Fangjiazhuang from the academy, he saw Fang Xing sitting in the yard and Wuyou sitting next to him, eagerly asking why kangaroos had bags.

"Father travels far and has a hard time."

Pingan knelt down and saluted solemnly. Fang Xing nodded: "Get up. Father will check your homework later."

"Dad, eldest brother is not back."

Children always like family reunions, but Tudou is in martial arts, and he is already a senior student and will graduate in more than a year.

Zhang Shuhui said: "Tudou has three days to rest."

These words were almost blurted out. It can be seen that in the mother's heart, the most important thing is the child, and everything about the child is always in her mind.

"Dad, can't eldest brother take leave?"

Wuyou asked a little disappointed.

"Your eldest brother is already sixteen years old. After excluding the year of martial arts, there is only one year of relaxation left, girl! You will have a nephew to play with in a few years!"

Fang Xing said it easily, but Zhang Shuhui was full of tangles.

"Husband, many people are hinting at Tudou's marriage!"

The sixteen-year-old Tudou is like a beacon in the dark, attracting families with daughters.

"My son is clean and self-sufficient, and he is also motivated. Is there such a son among his relatives? Smart people will naturally know who is good and who is bad, so we don't have to worry!"

After lunch, Fang Xing took Wuyou for a walk on the village, followed by Huang Zhong.

"Uncle, it seems that Knock Que is your majesty's bait now. Just when those people are satisfied, your majesty suddenly takes action, discrediting the Imperial College and arresting many gentry officials."

"In that issue of Ji Ming Bao, almost all articles criticized these so-called backbones and exposed their selfishness. The common people who had been deceived by the gentry all turned their heads."

"Your Majesty said that the teachings of the Imperial College have gone awry. The number of students will be reduced in the future, and students will only be able to start as minor officials after they come out. There was a cry in the Imperial College. Now the teachers and students are a little panicked. No one is serious about teaching and no one is serious. read……"

"Many people say that His Majesty did this on purpose. He wanted to compare science with the students of the Imperial College to see who is better."

Fang Xing knew a lot of this information along the way, but Huang Zhong explained it in more detail.

Wuyou held his sleeve and said seriously: "Dad, a few days ago there were some scholars who made trouble outside the village! Then they were beaten out."

Fang Xing lowered his head to look at his daughter and said with a smile: "Those are all unwilling to accept it, but no one dares to knock on the door anymore, so I can only complain."

"The Imperial College has been in decline since the Yongle period, and it has little to do with science."

Fang Xing felt that some people were probably desperate.

Get ready to jump over the wall.

In the palace, when Zhu Zhanji got the news, he couldn't help but slap his forehead and said: "I forgot that he has been out for almost two years. He is a person who doesn't like to make superficial things, that's all."

"Your Majesty, the teachers and students of the Imperial College are no longer interested in doing their homework."

Zhu Zhanji stopped smiling and said coldly: "During the Hongwu period, those so-called talented people held the memorial tablets of the Meng Yuan people and refused to serve. Emperor Taizu Gao revitalized the Imperial College with a grit of his teeth, even if the students who came out were not If you are qualified, you can be taught step by step, and each head serves as a deterrent, and finally the Ming Dynasty has passed its most dangerous moment. "

"During the Yongle period, the imperial examination gradually stabilized, and the Imperial College became useless. But they didn't realize it, and everyone wanted to squeeze in, and then work as officials to do it. This kind of thing will be discontinued from now on, and it will never happen again!"

The two living assistants recorded this immediately.

Seeing their solemn expressions, Zhu Zhanji said: "In a few decades, this will also be the ancestral method. Emperors will rise and fall from generation to generation, and daily life will be passed down from generation to generation. You may be able to tell how many people are involved in it." ?”

The two living assistants were recording with solemn expressions.

Anyone who understands current affairs will know how shocking the emperor's words are. What's more important is whether the attitude in these words will be extended.

For example, after powerful officials retired or passed away, the emperor often promoted their children and grandchildren.

Will this cuteness disappear in the future?

Yang Rong and others remained silent. If it were in the past, they would have made some suggestions, but now they had no position to speak.

After returning to the Political Affairs Hall, Yang Shiqi could not help but curse: "What those idiots did, the Imperial College will become stinking dog shit in the future, the garbage dump in the heart of the emperor!"

"Fang Xing is back."

Yang Pu's words made everyone fall into silence.

"That madman is back. Your Majesty sent him out for so long. During this period...how many children of science were cleared out?"

"More than a hundred people!"

Yang Rong sighed: "They wanted to deal with Fang Xing, but Fang Xing was not there, so they pointed the spearhead at Your Majesty and science. They were ruthless enough. More than 30 of them were accused of dereliction of duty and corruption."

"This is to dig up the roots!"

When the news of Fang Xing's return to Beijing spread, the stagnant atmosphere in the capital finally became more active.

"Fang Xing is back!"

On the second floor of Shenxianju, several businessmen were drinking, the windows were wide open, and someone was looking down.

The businessman by the window held a wine glass in his hand and took a sip from time to time.

"Those people were going to kill him at first, but now His Majesty has endured all of that. What will Fang Xing mean?"

"I don't know, but according to the current situation, since His Majesty has taken action, the next step should be stable. I'm afraid Xinghebo will be upset for a while."

"Upset?"

A merchant put down his chopsticks and said with a sense of superiority on his face: "Even His Majesty wants him to go out to avoid disaster. He is not upset, but lucky."

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop making noise!"

At this time, the merchant sitting by the window turned around and said: "Mo Chou took the child out, and it seems that she is going to Fangjiazhuang."

"Shouldn't she see His Majesty right away?"

Several merchants looked at each other, and then someone said: "Could it be... a falling out?"

Fang Xing and the emperor have a special friendship. If they really fell out, those gentry will probably have a party.

Several merchants crowded in front of the window with some melancholy, looking at the door downstairs.

Mo Chou asked Huanhuan to get on the carriage first, and then turned around to tell Yaodi a few words.

A few scholars walked by and when they saw Mo Chou smiling, the sadness on their faces made people think the sky was gloomy.
