I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Fang Yi glanced at everyone with a smile on his face. He clasped his hands together, bowed slowly, and paid deep respect to all the imperial guards.

"Thank you, soldiers!"

Even he, before discussing the military exercises today, did not dare to say that everything was foolproof. However, they won!

"We will serve you till our death!"

Bian Yuqing spoke in a deep voice with a sincere look on his face. From being a neglected junior lieutenant to being a general in Huaihua, all of them were appreciated by Fang Yi!

He vowed to repay this kindness with his life!

"Swear to be loyal to the Marquis till death!"

The soldiers of the Imperial Army responded in unison. Before today, who could have imagined that these stragglers, who were the least favored in the Imperial Army, could actually defeat the elite of Japan and achieve immortal feats!

And all of this was due to just one day of training. The person who led them to win this military exercise was the champion, Hou Fangyi, and from now on, he was the Marquis they had to be loyal to!

"If you are loyal to me, I will never let you down!"

Fang Yi took a deep breath, full of pride! These five hundred imperial guards were his first reliance in Kyoto, and the foundation of his existence!

good, very good!

……

At this moment, the mansion of Duke Anguo was quiet.

Mu Junsheng returned from the training ground with a barely perceptible worry on his face. He was in deep thought all the way to the pavilion in the mansion.

"Father, you are back."

In the attic, Mu Yuqing keenly caught the sound outside the door. She raised her eyes slightly, cast a gentle glance at her father, and then immersed herself in the sea of ​​books, reading quietly with her head down.

The setting sun outside the window came in like a whisper, sprinkling on Mu Yuqing's black hair. The little bits of light seemed to bring tranquility and beauty to this moment.

Seeing his daughter's otherworldly tranquility, Mu Junsheng shook his head slightly, and ripples appeared in his heart.

He slowly sat down beside his daughter and was silent for a moment. The only sound in the attic was the rustling sound of book pages turning, like the most melodious music in the world.

"Where did your brother go to play again?"

Mu Junsheng finally broke the silence.

"I'm afraid he was attracted by something interesting and went out to play."

Mu Yuqing spoke in a calm voice, without looking up, concentrating on the book in her hands.

Mu Junsheng sighed lightly, stood up, and paced slowly in the attic.

"In today's martial arts competition, Lord Fang Yi won first place..."

"Even as a father, I never foresaw that he possessed such a great military talent! He defeated the elite Japanese troops in one fell swoop, forced them to surrender, and expanded our territory, achieving an unprecedented feat..."

When Fang Yi was mentioned, Mu Junsheng's eyes flashed with pride and recognition.

Today's Fang Yi is truly impressive!

This once unknown champion will surely become famous from today on.

Fang Yi is definitely a person worthy of being entrusted with important tasks!

You know, although the current Emperor Taining did not say it explicitly.

But everyone has been spreading rumors privately that Fang Yi is the illegitimate son of Emperor Taining!

Now, he is paving the way for Fang Yi!

However, Mu Yuqing seemed unperturbed by this and her eyes never left the page in her hand.

Seeing this, Mu Junsheng had no choice but to sit down next to his daughter again, his eyes deep, and asked softly:

"Qing'er, what do you think about becoming a royal wife?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuqing's eyes instantly focused and the flipping of the book in her hand stopped abruptly.

"As long as you nod, your father will discuss this matter with the royal family!"

Mu Junsheng paid close attention to his daughter's reaction.

"The royal family has long had the intention of forming a marriage, and the Champion Marquis has also shown his potential. As long as..."

"Father, there is no need to mention it again."

Mu Yuqing interrupted her father and shook her head firmly.

"Even if the Champion Marquis is extremely talented, what does that have to do with me?"

"His brilliance has nothing to do with me and will never change my decision."

After saying that, Mu Yuqing gently turned sideways, with her back to her father, and continued to immerse herself in her own world. The calmness in her eyes, which had originally been as still as still water, finally began to show subtle fluctuations.

In comparison, she was more concerned about the immortal in the poem. What kind of person was he?

Why is it like a meteor that flashes briefly in the night sky?

I haven't heard any news about him in these days...

Faced with his daughter's persistence and desire, Mu Junsheng frowned slightly, looking helpless.

He stood up and took a closer look at the book in his daughter's hand, which undoubtedly contained the works of the "Poet Immortal".

Mu Junsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. His daughter's attention to this "poet immortal" even surpassed the affairs of the royal family.

That's all, that's all!

Without saying anything more, he walked towards the door alone, secretly promising in his heart that since Qing'er had made up her mind, let her do what she wanted!

……

At dawn the next day, the morning light began to break.

Bian Yuqing led five hundred guards and marched to the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion to fulfill his mission.

The Guanjun Marquis Mansion, which was quiet in the past, finally welcomed a rare bustle today.

"Old Bian, mobilize the ninety-eight warriors to take turns guarding the Marquis' Mansion. There can be no mistakes!"

Fang Yi spoke earnestly, patted Bian Yuqing's solid shoulders gently, and looked deeply.

Naturally, not all of the 500 elites under his command could live in the palace, otherwise, their momentum would be as strong as that of the emperor.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the number of guards for a marquis cannot exceed 100, so let this number subtly reach the limit.

Including Bian Yuqing, there were still ninety-nine people, cleverly avoiding the unwritten rules.

"Old Bian, change your clothes and let's go out for a walk!"

"Out?"

Bian Yuqing was slightly stunned, not understanding what Fang Yi meant.

However, Fang Yi was already striding forward, and he had no choice but to follow closely.

The night before, Fang Yi did a careful calculation and found that a huge amount of money would be needed to allow the Marquis of Guanjun to live a life of luxury.

What's more, we still need to support five hundred strong men.

If you want to upgrade your equipment and combat effectiveness, it will be another huge expense.

Relying solely on the meager monthly allowance from the Marquis's Mansion is like a drop in the bucket.

Poverty can really hold back the steps of a hero.

If the Marquis of Guanjun were trapped by poverty, wouldn't he become a laughing stock of the world?

The streets of the capital were bustling with people. Fang Yi strolled among them, looking around.

As the heart of Da Zhou, the streets are lined with shops and merchants come and go.

From rouge and powder to silk fabrics, from fine wines to all kinds of delicacies, there is a dazzling array of things to see.

There are restaurants, pharmacies, cloth shops, casinos, and everything else, with a constant flow of people, presenting a prosperous city scene.

Fang Yi stopped in the crowd, stroking his chin, thinking deeply.

The merchants of this era are all shrewd and capable. If they want to make a profit, they may have to find another way and introduce some ideas that are ahead of their time...

"Old Bian, in your opinion, what is the fastest way to make money?"

After pondering for a moment, Fang Yi asked Bian Yuqing with great interest.

"This……"

Faced with Fang Yi's sudden question, Bian Yuqing hesitated a little and swallowed the words back.

"My Lord, there is indeed a way, but..."

"Just say it!" Fang Yi waved his hand, looking open-minded.

"Brothels and casinos."

Bian Yuqing had no choice but to answer truthfully, and then he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

My Lord, you deal with the people, how can you set foot in these places?

Fang Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry when he heard this.

Indeed, these two lines are the fastest way to make profits, but if a marquis manages them personally, he will inevitably be criticized.

There must be a brilliant plan!

"Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

Just as my thoughts were wandering, a loud noise suddenly exploded from not far away.

"Catch a thief?"

Fang Yi glanced sideways upon hearing the voice, and saw in front of him a young man with flickering eyes moving through the crowd like a cunning rabbit.

"Kid, where are you running to? Stop right there!"

Following closely behind, a young man in gorgeous clothes, with an anxious look on his face, was chasing with all his might, shouting continuously, and running towards this side at a rapid speed.

The thief was cornered and had no choice but to push pedestrians, knocking many of them to the ground. He tried to delay the young man in this way. The stalls collapsed one after another, leaving a mess.
