Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

I have received such attention and favor from Your Majesty.

It's enough to prove that you can support the future of Ming Dynasty...

When Xia Yuanji heard such solemn words, his hands, which were still supported by Fu Youwen, froze and he stood there in a daze.

"This Minister..."

"To me..."

"No hostility at all!?"

Even though he couldn't figure out why this was happening.

But this was the only clear thought in Xia Yuanji's chaotic mind.

It is impossible to have no hostility towards a rising star who suddenly appears and poses a huge potential threat - according to common sense, this is impossible, but Xia Yuanji truly feels the other party's intentions.

And looking at the old man in front of him.

Xia Yuanji had prepared many versions of the draft in his mind, but suddenly none of them could be used.

My brain was offline for a while.

He then took a slightly awkward step back, bowed deeply once more, and said in a somewhat panicked voice, "I don't deserve it! 'The future of the Ming Dynasty'... Sir Fu's words are too heavy, too weighty! I am young and inexperienced, so I dare not accept it!"

Although he couldn't agree to Fu Youwen's words casually no matter what, he had to say such nice and polite words.

But in fact, what he said was sincere and without any falsehood.

It’s not that Xia Yuanji doesn’t believe in his own abilities.

But this statement is too big.

He really didn't understand why Fu Youwen, a Minister of Revenue and an important official in the court, and a family member with a meritorious military general like the Duke of Ying, would speak so nicely to him, an ordinary student.

at the same time.

The other three people here also widened their eyes, looking confused.

This completely unconventional play was completely unexpected by everyone. Lin Chengxuan naturally breathed a sigh of relief for Xia Yuanji, but Yu Xin and Gu Pu, who had been secretly instigating this, were completely dumbfounded...

"No? All that hard work before was for nothing?"

"This Master Fu... is he tired and confused? Or is he just old and confused?"

"Today, His Majesty appointed an ordinary student to the position of third in command at your Ministry of Revenue, and you showed no resentment or reaction at all. What you said and did... was more like saying: Come, this position of mine is waiting for you..."

"Master Fu, what on earth is he doing? What's up with him?!"

"..."

At this moment, Yu Xin and Gu Pu exchanged glances, and there were thousands of alpaca horses galloping through each of their hearts.

He was very puzzled by Fu Youwen, his proactive and progressive boss.

And on Fu Youwen's side.

He simply ignored the others, stepped forward with a smile, helped Xia Yuanji up again, and said, "How can you not be so confident?"

There was a firmness in his tone, and he even seemed to blame Xia Yuanji for being too modest and self-deprecating.

In most cases, Fu Youwen believed Zhu Yunhuan, no matter how much he was persuaded. Even though he was an old man, he was often frightened by the emperor. He was one of the few people who knew the emperor's temper and character best.

not to mention.

After the Qin and Jin princes' conspiracy, Zhu Yunhuan took the opportunity to abolish the two princely titles and carried out a large-scale purge of the main officials in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. When he was arranging his own manpower...

Did Fu Youwen see how cautious and meticulous Zhu Yunhuan was when arranging officials? And how Zhu Yunhuan warned and guarded against him, Zhan Hui, and Liu Sanwu was also witnessed by Fu Youwen.

Is it possible for Your Majesty to give away the powerful positions in your hands casually?

It's impossible!

And on this basis.

His praise and goodwill naturally carried with them some thoughts of investing in the future: When everyone doubted you and was pessimistic about you, I, Fu Youwen, was optimistic about you and had high hopes for you... When you become successful in the future, you must remember my kindness, right?
