Fu Youde nodded: "Okay!"

Fu Youwen filled the glasses in front of himself and Fu Youde. "Don't think too much. Just wait for His Majesty's decree. Whatever the decree says is what counts."

He put a few pieces of raw beef into the hot pot in front of him and said, "Come on! Eat the pot. A cow just fell to its death in our mansion yesterday. You came at the perfect time!"

A soldier like Fu Youde was naturally even more happy. Without any hesitation, he put his chopsticks into the pot and started to scoop out the meat and eat.

"By the way, did His Majesty say anything else when you met him this time?" Fu Youwen chatted while drinking and eating meat.

He knows about this younger brother of his.

He is an expert at wielding swords and guns, but those who come and go in the court are not very cunning. As for that little ancestor in the side palace... he is full of evil intentions and can be said to be the most cunning person in the world!

Fu Youwen felt that he needed to ask a question.

Since he asked this, Fu Youde naturally answered without hesitation: "You know what happened later. His Majesty inexplicably asked me to leave Yingtian Prefecture and run to Zhejiang and Fujian. I argued with him for a few words, and then His Majesty chased me to your house. As for what happened before..."

Fu Youde thought about it while eating meat.

He chuckled and said, "Your Majesty is quite polite, calling me 'Old Duke' all the time. He also said that I followed the late emperor to conquer the world and later worked hard to protect the world for him, saying that I have made great contributions!"

Fu Youwen's movement of picking up the meat with chopsticks paused slightly.

Then he understood, smiled, and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty is an emperor who remembers people's contributions."

"Yes! That's the way it should be. The Ming army has clear rewards and punishments, so the soldiers are more motivated to kill the enemies!" Fu Youde nodded in agreement and echoed with a smile.

Fu Youwen didn't say anything more about this.

He only sighed inwardly, "As expected, His Majesty is still His Majesty. Youde hasn't even noticed this yet, and his goal has been achieved."

He understood Zhu Yunhuan's intention and knew that his younger brother had remembered this impression and would be subtly influenced in his future actions. There was no need to say more.

So Fu Youwen then asked, "What about the others?"

He didn't point it out, and Fu Youde was still immersed in eating meat and drinking, thinking it was just idle chat. He immediately responded, "It's nothing serious. He just mentioned the rebellion of Prince Jin and said that we have made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion!"

Fu Youwen frowned and said, "You don't have any credit for this."

Fu Youde nodded. "That's right. I have a rough idea of ​​my merits and demerits! But His Majesty still caught me praising me profusely..." At this point, Fu Youde's face showed a hint of guilt. "Then I let it slip and praised His Majesty for his 'intelligent talent and the qualities of a wise ruler.'"

Hear this.

Fu Youwen almost spit out the wine he had just taken.

He swallowed the food in his mouth with some difficulty and said, "I told you he never speaks with good intentions! You're just trying to trick you!"

After complaining.

Fu Youwen suddenly had an expression that said "something bad is going to happen":

"He has a brain that can pick up ten different notes in one sentence. He's sure we've informed you in advance!!"

"I'm afraid I guessed it before! That's right! He used the Prince of Jin's rebellion to test you. You listened to my advice and behaved well, but you behaved too well!"

"It's really hard to hide anything from him!"

At this point, Fu Youwen couldn't help but groan inwardly, secretly sighing: "Mistake! Mistake! Even with all the precautions and caution, there are still mistakes! Your Majesty is really difficult to serve!"

After a moment's silence, he looked at Fu Youde and asked, "Your Majesty...what else did you say?"

Fu Youde waved his hand nonchalantly: "Although I accidentally let the cat out of the bag, you can still rest assured, brother. His Majesty didn't blame me for anything! I'll stop here."

"Just tell us about the reinforcement and training along the coast."

He had a grin on his face, and obviously didn't understand the deeper meaning.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunhuan didn’t see this.

Otherwise, Zhu Yunhuan would definitely complain: Flirting to a blind man!

Of course, it was also a good thing that Zhu Yunhuan had made a second-hand preparation. Fu Youwen widened his eyes and looked at Fu Youde and reminded him: "How can this be said that there is no blame! His Majesty is warning you!"

"Your Majesty, when the Prince of Jin rebelled, was it not to test your attitude? Now that Your Majesty knows that I informed you in advance, your attitude and loyalty are no longer valid!"

Fu Youde frowned in confusion: "Huh?"

After thinking about it, he seemed to understand and nodded, "It seems that's indeed the calculation!" Then he immediately showed a helpless expression and said, "No... He's just a teenager... How can he be so cunning?"

Fu Youwen rolled his eyes at him and said, "How else could I have reminded you long ago to be cautious with the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty? You don't take it seriously, do you? You're still a child... If all the civil officials in the court were put together, they might not be as cunning as him!"

Fu Youde smiled guiltily: "Who would have thought of this?"

Fu Youwen also knew his brother's temperament, so he could only shake his head helplessly: "This is to tell you that your loyalty to him is still uncertain!"

"Then let's go to Zhejiang and Fujian and do some good things!" Fu Youde said subconsciously, and then his heart skipped a beat as he finally came to his senses: "Hey! This kid..."
