The orchard in Fangjiazhuang seems to have been robbed.
While Fang Jue was talking to Zhuge Qingshan, the adults in the garden led the accompanying imperial troops to pick these novel fruits.
Then he sent people one by one and sent them back to his house.
Of course, people also give gifts in return.
This gangster-like courtesy exchange made Fang Jue dumbfounded.
"Master, those adults went too far, they almost didn't cut down the trees." Fang Fulai cried, saying that he was managing the orchard on a daily basis, and he felt aggrieved when he saw that it was being ruined.
Fang Jue smiled and said: "It's just a few fruits, just let them pick them. Anyway, I want to make these things popular. It's best to start with these officials."
As the saying goes, what goes above leads to results.
As long as the court ministers start to play with things like customs, there will naturally be a lot of imitators.
If he wasn't worried about someone taking the opportunity to poison him, Fang Jue would have wanted to give everything to the palace as a gift.
If the emperor takes the lead, that will be the best effect.
After all, there is an allusion like this: The king of Chu had such a thin waist that many people died of starvation in the palace.
After nightfall, Fangjiazhuang started a fireworks show to end the day on a high note.
After seeing off the courtiers, Fang Jue left a few people behind to talk alone.
Ye Hongyi is naturally on the list.
Fang Jue asked her: "What are the Ye family's plans?"
Ye Hongyi knew that Fang Jue was asking about joining the Musket Bureau.
"Grandpa said, let the next two generations of the Ye family try it."
Fang Jue nodded: "Yes, but you have to start from a junior official. The Musket Bureau has its own assessment... Generally speaking, I have the final say who can be promoted. If they don't live up to their expectations, I won't give face to the old Duke."
.”
"Don't worry, no matter if I can keep a few or none, I won't blame you." Ye Hongyi said.
"Also, it is very important for the Musket Bureau to keep the secret. People who are silent from the Ye family should not come, lest your majesty and I will be in trouble." Fang Jue said seriously.
The Musketeers Bureau is very important. Anyone who dares to leak the secret will definitely be guillotined.
Ye Hongyi nodded obediently, looking at Fang Jue's serious look, always ignoring the fact that he couldn't beat her.
"This sword of yours... I will tell His Majesty that it is too troublesome to wear two swords." Fang Jue frowned.
Ye Hongyi quickly shook his head: "It's not troublesome, I like Qiushui Sword very much!"
She was afraid that Fang Jue would regret it and take the sword back.
Fang Jue smiled and said: "What I mean is, don't bring the sword given by His Majesty... the quality is too poor."
"Ah?" Ye Hongyi was stunned.
She scratched her head. Although she knew this was true, who dared to say this?
The sword given by the emperor is of course of high quality... but it depends on who you compare it with. Compared with the sword from Emperor Zun Pavilion, it can be swept into the garbage heap.
But the sword given by the emperor represents glory and authority. How can you say that you don't want to wear it?
"If this is the case, your Majesty will feel slighted, right?" Ye Hongyi asked worriedly.
Fang Jue: "Can't you just replace the scabbard of the Autumn Water Sword with the scabbard of the Imperial Sword?"
"Huh?" Ye Hongyi was stunned for a moment, "Can it still be like this?"
"Two swords are not conducive to quick reaction against the enemy. I will be more and more dangerous in the future, and so will you...so I don't allow one more sword to affect your skill." Fang Jue said.
When Ye Hongyi heard this, she felt it made sense and nodded in agreement.
She knew that after today, Fang Jue would be famous all over the world and truly known to everyone.
The more Fang Jue brings to the Xia Kingdom, the more dangerous he becomes. The people of the Six Kingdoms will not tolerate it. The most talented person in the world is used by the Xia Kingdom.
It is foreseeable that more and more dangers will be encountered in the future.
"Don't worry, I've been consulting with Dian Xie a lot recently, and I've also watched his battles with Commander Mo, which has been quite beneficial... I will become stronger and stronger, and I can protect you!" Ye Hongyi said with her head held high and her chest high.
.
Fang Jue glanced at her inadvertently, not hearing what she said clearly, and just nodded quickly.
Seeing that Fang felt that he was not as macho as an ordinary man, saying that he did not need his own protection, Ye Hongyi felt a sense of security in his heart.
Having made friends with Fang Jue before, she felt that she could talk to him on an equal footing because of her status as the swordsman of the Hanging Sword Division and the third most beautiful woman in the world.
But recently, Ye Hongyi felt more and more that she was becoming more and more humble in this relationship.
And her most proud skill is not examining cases, but her martial arts attainments... Ye Hongyi can think of doing something for Fang Jue, which is to use her martial arts to protect him.
"How is Bai Qing doing in the Xuanjian Division?" Fang Jue asked casually.
"He seems to be very interested in you and has been searching for information about you. I'm worried that he is still evil and pretends to seek refuge..."
Ye Hongyi hummed: "I've been guarding against him!"
Fang Jue shook his head: "It doesn't have to be like this. This person's faith has been shaken. The fact that he checked on me openly shows that he already wants to truly return to his heart."
"You mean, he is impressed by your charisma and wants to abandon the dark side for the bright side?" Ye Hongyi joked.
"You can understand it this way." Fang Jue said confidently.
But in the end, I didn't hold back, my skin became thinner, and I laughed out loud.
…
After sending Ye Hongyi out of Zhuangzi, he met the second person.
"Master, after King Jin left Zhuangzi, he quietly came back."
"I know."
Under the living room.
King Jin held the tea cup, like an ignorant boy, staring blankly at the glorious elders.
Fang Jue said: "Your Highness, Prince Jin, it's not even late autumn yet, why is it so cold?"
King Jin was trembling, and the lid of the teacup was rattling.
He didn't expect that the world's prodigy whom he wanted to disgust before would actually be a prodigy.
Today, I came with him to observe and see the various new grain yields weighed on site. Only then did King Jin realize that Fang Jue had not boasted about Haikou before.
On the contrary, it is more conservative.
"Crack."
King Jin put down his teacup and knocked Fang Jue's teacup on the spot.
"Pfft--" Fang Jue's tea spurted out, and he quickly turned his head to prevent it from hitting Prince Jin.
"Your Highness, what is this?"
As a prince among princes, he would only kneel down when he saw the emperor and the queen, which even their mothers and concubines could not bear.
The king of Jin worshiped himself.
This little brat is trying to trick me!
Fang Jue gritted his teeth and quickly signaled Dian Yi to help King Jin up.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple, otherwise I will never be able to kneel down!" King Jin thought quickly.
Fang Jue was speechless: "You also want to be the prince?"
Who doesn't know that from now on, the title of Prince's Young Master will definitely be confirmed.
The emperor will definitely give this face, just because of Fang Jue's huge contribution.
It is true that King Jin had this reaction.
"Young Master, my disciple was clumsy and offended before. I am willing to help you!" King Jin said solemnly.
Fang Jue glanced out the window and said, "Maybe someone from the Xuanjian Division is watching this scene. What do you think His Majesty will think?"
"I……"
"Your Highness Prince Jin, there are no outsiders here, how long will you continue to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger?"
Fang Jue said calmly, glancing in the direction of his secret room from the corner of his eye.
King Jin didn't look up, so he naturally didn't notice Fang Jue's movements.
"I don't understand what the young master is saying..." King Jin shook his head, pretending to be stunned.
Fang Jue said: "Compared with the King of Qin, you are less favored; compared with Xiao Luoye, you are less vicious; compared with the King of Qi and the King of Wei, you do not have the huge network of concubines and relatives..."
"So you know that you can't appear too talented or very motivated, so you always look like you're staying out of it."
Fang Jue: "Your Highness, you looked down on me like that before and deliberately disgusted me. You also wanted to paralyze me and make me think that you are a miserable mediocre person."
"Today I have laid the foundation for the future, and you took the opportunity to become my disciple... You want to give me the impression that you are following others' influence, but you also want to paralyze me."
"Young Master... you!" King Jin stared wide-eyed. He couldn't believe that his hidden worries for many years were actually revealed by a young man who had just arrived in Jinling.
Am I that bad at acting?
Fang Jue was surprised to see him: "I don't know if you are still pretending...but since I can see it, His Majesty has naturally seen it a long time ago."
"Father..." King Jin was silent and said with a wry smile, "Father always said that I am like him. It seems like he is favored, but in fact I have nothing. He has never put any effort into me."
"I know I have no chance. I am just pretending, but I am not pretending. I can only pretend for the rest of my life."
Fang Jue nodded: "But now, King Qin has crossed the line, and His Majesty will definitely not be happy; the relationship between King Qi and King Wei is too small... If you are worthy of the important task, I may consider it..."
"Young master, you want to support me?" King Jin stared.
Dianyi was also a little surprised: "Young Master..."
Fang Jue stopped Dianyi and said: "King Qin was driven away by me, but I am still the prince's young master. I will explain to your majesty that all the princes will come under my sect to cover you."
…
King Jin is gone.
He was so excited that he rolled around.
"Young Master, I don't understand. Is the King of Jin really worthy of such a great responsibility? And will His Majesty be unhappy if you interfere in the Crown Prince's affairs?"
Fang Jue shook his head: "The emperor's favorite son is this King Jin."
"Where can you tell?"
"Only the King of Jin came to Fangjiazhuang today. The King of Qin has not lifted the ban and is still studying in the mansion...and the King of Qi and the King of Wei went to autumn hunting..."
Dianyi was shocked: "The emperor did it on purpose?"
"The emperor can't do whatever he wants in such a major social matter. Maybe he wants to see if I and the Emperor Zun Pavilion will support King Jin?"
