Chapter 968 The Bold Fang Xing, the Shameless Husband
There was a wall in front of him, and Zhu Di walked straight over, but the eunuch didn't stop his pace even with a dry cough.
Fang Xing was not afraid of offending anyone, so he said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, there is a wall over there."
Zhu Di hummed, stood still and turned around and said, "I just like your thoughts. You don't hide it, you don't fear it. When you see the king's mistakes, it's not like the ministers in the court who always weigh their own pros and cons before daring to speak. .You are fine!"
Fang Xing blushed in a rare way, and said in a nasty voice, "Your Majesty, I'm just being stupid and bold, and I don't deserve such praise from you."
It's rare for Zhu Di to have the interest to talk: "It's okay to be stupid and bold, just like Xia Yuanji, but he can also observe words and demeanor, but he is open-minded about money and food, and even I dare to criticize."
"I heard that you talked about Wei Zheng, but I don't have a small belly like Li Shimin, and my Wei Zheng doesn't need to worry about being smashed after death."
This is where Zhu Di is proud. He never beats his courtiers quietly. Of course, Huang Huai and Yang Pu were exceptions. He felt that Zhu Gaochi was difficult to suppress, so he simply put him in the imperial prison to suppress his arrogance.
"Fan kings and clansmen should think about the country, lead by example, and don't indulge in pleasure!"
Zhu Di's eyes were gloomy. He thought of the reaction of those ambitious vassal kings after he cut off their military power, and he couldn't help sneering: "Someone in the court colluded with them. I already knew about it. Fang Xing, how do you change it?" ?”
This question made Fang Xing a little confused. He turned his eyes and saw the eunuch's hand waving indistinctly. If you don't save the poor, if you don't live up to your expectations, no matter how much favor you give, it will be useless."
Zhu Di looked at Fang Xing playfully and said, "Then what do you think?"
Fang Xing coughed dryly: "Your Majesty, I'm just talking nonsense, if you can allow those below the county king to support themselves, then... I've made a slip of the tongue, Your Majesty forgives me."
Zhu Di stood with his hands behind his back, looking a little lonely.
"I said I'm not Li Shimin!"
This is just a lonely emperor. After Empress Xu left, there was no one to talk to.
In an instant, Fang Xing blurted out: "Your Majesty, the number of vassal kings is growing extremely fast. At this time, the court can still afford money and food. What about the future? Your Majesty, what about one hundred years, two hundred years later?"
After saying that, Fang Xing regretted it. He stood by the side with his head bowed, letting Zhu Di's gaze sweep over him.
"I see, you go."
Fang Xing walked away as if he had received an amnesty. Behind him, Zhu Di stood where he was, looking at a spot of green on the ground, wondering what he was thinking.
...
Xia Yuanji was very proud, he stopped Fang Xing at the palace gate, and said beamingly: "The glass is burnt out!"
Fang Xing was still thinking about Zhu Di's reaction just now, so he said absent-mindedly: "That's a good thing! The household department has gained more money."
When it comes to income, Xia Yuanji said with anger on his face: "As soon as the glass came out, those royal relatives came, saying that they wanted to install glass on the windows of the house, and another one was even more absurd, saying that they wanted to build a verandah." On water, glass it all!"
"Good thing!"
Fang Xing wondered: "Isn't it good to have business? They want as much as they want, anyway, they have a lot of money, so if they don't make money, they won't make money!"
Xia Yuanji stomped his feet and said: "But they want to pay on credit! How willing is this officer! If the glass enters their house, the household department will never even think about getting the money back!"
"So thick-skinned?"
Fang Xing also felt that this was a strange thing. Most of Daming's imperial relatives were not short of money, but they were reluctant to part with a copper plate on the glass. This was provoking Xia Yuanji!
Xia Yuanji shook his head and said: "Not only is he thick-skinned, but he also said that if he is short of money, he should go to His Majesty. Aren't treasured banknotes just blank paper, just print more."
"Maggots!"
Fang Xing unceremoniously defined these thick-skinned people: "Master Xia, this matter must not set a precedent, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"
Xia Yuanji said angrily, "How is Your Majesty feeling now?"
This is going to sue, if not, I will criticize the dragon scale today.
Thinking of Zhu Di's evaluation of Xia Yuanji just now, Fang Xing said, "It's not bad, but you have to be careful with your words, don't be too violent."
Once Xia Yuanji got angry, he often couldn't control his emotions. If Zhu Di is angered, there will be another minister in the prison, but the detention time will not exceed three days at most.
Xia Yuanji tidied up his clothes, and said arrogantly, "Then I'm leaving now!"
"The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return..."
Fang Xing watched Xia Yuanji off, and couldn't help muttering to himself, the sergeant guarding the gate happened to know this poem. His cheeks twitched, and he looked straight ahead, already thinking of Fang Xing as the kind of person whose heart was as hard as a stone.
Fang Xing looked around, and finally found a clean place to sit down.
"Old Qi, bring water and a book."
Xin Laoqi was carrying a leather bag, from which he took out a thermos cup and a book with a physics cover.
Fang Xing sat on the sill, opened the book, and read it with relish.
The sergeant guarding the gate immediately changed the other party's mind.
Look, Xing and Bo are worried about Master Xia! Sitting on the cold kanzi waiting for news in the cold weather.
Time passed, and when Fang Xing drank half a glass of water and read half of the book in his hand, Xia Yuanji came out, disheveled.
"Lord Xia!"
Fang Xing threw the book to Xin Laoqi, went up to meet him and asked, "But you were scolded?"
Xia Yuanji wiped his face, and said triumphantly: "I was scolded, but looking at your Majesty's appearance, there will be no days when you can freely reward treasure money in the future!"
"What about the glass?"
"Your Majesty Glass has said that even if it is used in the palace, it must follow the rules of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Xia Yuanji said triumphantly: "When I go back and deal with those people, if there are any clamors, let them come to His Majesty!"
This is a person who does things and is not good at making money. It was also fortunate that he met Zhu Di. It was impossible for Xia Yuanji to stay in the position of Minister of the Household Department for so long in another emperor.
The two walked outside together, and a eunuch was peeping at the door, and when he couldn't see anyone, he turned and ran away.
Sun Xiang sat cross-legged in the quiet room, narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly turned the Buddhist beads in his hands.
The six consciousnesses of a person are very sensitive when the mind is calm, and the sounds that cannot be heard at ordinary times seem to be in the ears at this moment.
Sun Xiang moved his ears, opened his eyes and said, "Come in!"
The eunuch who was peeking at the palace gate just now came in to salute and said: "Eunuch, just now Lord Xia and His Majesty had a dispute, and when they left the palace, Xing and Bo had been waiting outside, and they left together."
Sun Xiang felt that his heart was still like water, and he saw through the cause of this matter at a glance.
"Xing Hebo and Xia Yuanji are somewhat friendly. Xia Yuanji went to the palace to argue with His Majesty. He just happened to meet him. What is there to say about waiting for one or two? And it was outside the palace gate, under the eyes of those sergeants. Do you find this interesting?"
The visitor said in fear: "Eunuch, this servant is stupid and almost made a big mistake, please punish me."
Sun Xiang snorted coldly, waved his hands and said, "If you want to improve, don't just think about climbing all day long! Go!"
"Thank you, father-in-law. Father-in-law really deserves to be Sun Buddha, with a heart full of compassion. After the slaves return home, they will chant the Buddha every morning and evening, praying to the Buddha to bless the father-in-law on his way to promotion..."
Sun Xiang frowned and said, "Don't talk about it. You must be sincere in worshiping the Buddha. If you are not sincere, it will only hurt you! Go!"
