Chapter 301 How about letting you go to Hejianfu as a prefect?
"Then Your Highness, is this person seen or not???"
Zhu Cixiang played with the seal in his hand, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Let him come in and take a look!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
The attendant bowed respectfully to Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said with a respectful look on his face.
"I want to see if he came to me because he wanted to say something!"
A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Cixi's eyes.
Looking at the attendant's back, Tao Yao looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him with curiosity in his eyes and said, "Your Highness, why do you care so little about Hou Xun but still want to see his son?
???
Now that Hou Xun is still in prison, this Hou Fangyu is probably coming to plead for his father! Are you ready to agree to him??"
Taoyao asked Zhu Cixi curiously.
"Promise??? Meeting him doesn't mean you agree!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled, pinched Taoyao's little nose gently, and said with a smile: "I heard that Hou Fangyu is one of the four famous talents in the Jiangnan area! I would like to see if this talent is...
True to his name! His father is not a bad person either.
It’s just that the way I do things is a bit confusing, not to mention my attitude, but I do have some issues with my ability!”
To be honest, Zhu Cixi didn't actually have any special opinions about Hou Xun. The Minister of War did an average job during his tenure. Of course, the more average job was to pay his father. But this could not cover up the fact that the Minister of War did a terrible job.
.
Whether Hou Xun lets go or not doesn't mean much to Zhu Cixiang!
If Hou Fangyu is really capable and can make contributions to himself, even if he wants to beg his father to let his father go, what can he do?
If he doesn't have the ability, he still has to do things like save his father himself!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixi smiled.
Just at this time.
"Marquis Fangyu of Cao Min! Bow down to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Hou Fangyu's voice came from the door. Zhu Cixiang smiled and said calmly towards the door.
"Come in!"
Soon, Hou Fangyu walked in from the door. He did not dare to look up at Zhu Cixiang. As soon as he entered the room, Hou Fangyu knelt down in front of Zhu Cixiang.
"Caominhou Fangyu! See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Hou Fangyu bowed respectfully to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
Zhu Cixiang looked calm and looked at Hou Fangyu in front of him.
"Keep your head up!"
At this time, Hou Fangyu raised his head and looked at Zhu Cixiang.
"Hou Fangyu, one of the four young masters in the south of the Yangtze River, does have a handsome appearance, but I don't know how much ability and talent he has!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Hou Fangyu in front of him with a faint smile.
With a wry smile on his face, Hou Fangyu said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "I didn't expect that such a shameful name would actually fall into the ears of His Highness the Crown Prince. A mere shameless name is not worth mentioning! Even if he had the ability, he might not be able to catch His Highness's attention...
…”
"If you can't get into my eyes, then why are you looking for me?"
Zhu Cixiang said coldly to Hou Fangyu in front of him.
After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, Hou Fangyu was stunned for a moment. He looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"Okay, why did you come to me?"
Zhu Cixiang was too lazy to twist around and asked Hou Fangyu in front of him casually.
"I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to intercede for my father. Currently, my father is imprisoned in Nanjing Prison. As a son, I cannot sleep peacefully all day long. I hope Your Highness can help me! I can work for you! I can repay you.
!”
Hou Fangyu looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said.
"Why should I help you?"
Zhu Cixiang said casually to Hou Fangyu in front of him.
"You already said that your talent is not in my eyes! If that's the case, why should I help you???"
Zhu Cixiang's voice was indifferent.
"For a person I despise, I am going to beg my father to let your father go? And why is your father imprisoned? Do you still need me to tell you how Kaifeng fell in the first place???
Being imprisoned because of dereliction of duty, do you want me to tell you in detail about this kind of thing?? The state has national laws, and families have family rules! If you are just for this kind of thing, then just quit!"
As he spoke, Zhu Cixiang glanced at the two guards beside him. The two guards quickly came to Hou Fangyu and were about to drag him away.
"Wait a minute! Your Highness! I have something else to say!"
Just when the guards were about to drag Hou Fangyu away.
At this time, Hou Fangyu looked solemnly and said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him: "Your Highness! I think I still have some talent! At least, it is enough to serve Your Highness!"
"oh?"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Hou Fangyu in front of him calmly.
"Are you a Juren?"
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Hou Fangyu showed a hint of shame on his face.
"Never passed the exam..."
"No problem!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Hou Fangyu in front of him calmly.
"I think your settlement suggestion is a good one! If you are willing to go to the border of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and serve as a prefect! If you can do it for three years and do a good job! I will personally ask my father to let him go.
Hou Xun!"
"good!"
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Hou Fangyu's eyes suddenly lit up. Without any hesitation, he nodded directly towards Zhu Cixiang in front of him and agreed.
"Don't rush to agree yet!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at Hou Fangyu in front of him with cold eyes.
"Except for the two hundred personal guards, I will not allocate a single soldier to you, and I will not allocate any money to you! You can figure it out on your own! And this state capital has just been destroyed! We need you for construction.
Do it yourself!
Then you need to do the reclamation yourself, which is equivalent to establishing a new order from scratch! Don’t tell me that your previous so-called reclamation proposal was just talk on paper!"
"good!"
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Hou Fangyu's expression changed for a while, then he gritted his teeth and agreed directly.
There is no way, right now, no matter how harsh this condition is, he must agree!
Because only in this way can his father have a chance of survival!
Thinking of this, Hou Fangyu flashed a wry smile in his heart.
He knew that the probability of success in doing so was actually very low, but he still had to agree!
Thinking of this, a hint of sigh flashed in Hou Fangyu's eyes!
After hearing Hou Fangyu's agreement, Zhu Cixiang wanted to say something else.
"By the way! Your Highness, I should still have my own salary, and then I can also recruit people here in Qingzhou Mansion, right?"
"If you have the ability to recruit people, please do so!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said to Hou Fangyu in front of him.
