Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Even... it seems like he is deliberately adding fuel to the fire and continuing to increase the hostility of Lan Yu and his group towards him?

But looking at this behavior from another perspective... it seems that he is indeed considering things from the perspective of Lan Yu and his group.

Fu Youde was a little confused for a moment.

But no matter which possibility it was, Fu Youde was still happy to see the scene before him. Since someone handed him the pillow again... he would use it again!

"Lie? Why would I lie to you about something like this? You're not my wife, and you have to make up excuses to go out and have fun sometimes!"

"Today, I am entering the palace to meet the emperor. Besides being my first time to meet the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the rest is what His Majesty has instructed me to do outside."

"No! What happened today?"

"What are you all thinking? You're all fucking weird!"

"I'm leaving soon, so I came here to have a drink with you guys! And now you're treating me like this, you're killing me!"

"When we were fighting the Tartars together, that guy drank like water! Now he doesn't enjoy drinking at all! It really spoils the fun!"

Fu Youde pretended that nothing had happened, thinking that he had finally squeezed out time to reminisce with his old brothers, but he encountered his old brothers hesitating and even started to criticize him in dissatisfaction.

Chang Sheng pursed his lips to suppress his smile and sighed secretly, "Uncle Fu's acting is really good!"

Fu Youde's seemingly sincere complaints and accusations actually stunned the group of people.

Everyone couldn't believe it.

But they all looked embarrassed and responded sporadically: "Uh... drink... drink..."

Fu Youde showed a look of disgust on his face.

He scoffed disdainfully, "Tsk! Still so unhappy, all slumbering among the women on the Qinhuai River?"

Under normal circumstances, after being ridiculed by Fu Youde, this group of impulsive killers might have already started to pick up their knives and kill. But now everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts. They were in disbelief, on guard, and vigilant, and for a while, they did not react much.

They each drank a glass of wine in a dull manner.

The usually impatient Marquis of Heqing, Zhang Yi, finally lost his patience and tentatively asked, "Old Master, did His Majesty ask you to leave Yingtian Prefecture and continue training at the garrisons in Shanxi and Henan?"

This was so unclear that he really couldn't stand it.

Only the people in this awkward atmosphere know who is feeling, so it's better to ask directly. Who knows, you might see some flaws or conspiracy or something like that.

Fu Youde waved his hand, a look of confusion and regret on his face as he said, "I'd like to go back and continue training the new troops over there so that we can fight back against the remaining Tartars, but His Majesty won't let me."

"He insisted on sending us to Zhejiang and Fujian to train our navy. Tell me, what's the logic behind this?"

Fu Youde said truthfully.

His whereabouts are bound to be the focus of everyone's attention. Where he went and what he did are not things that can be hidden, so naturally there is nothing to be shy about.

Of course, his frustration with this instruction was somewhat genuine. Being prepared to cooperate was one thing, but that didn't stop him from feeling that it was outrageous.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were once again filled with confusion and bewilderment, and they almost all sighed in disbelief: "Going to Zhejiang and Fujian to train the navy!!?"

No one present had expected this answer.

Although the treasury revenue, the Ministry of Revenue's budget expenditure, etc. are all confidential items, they have still heard about the increase in troops and training along the coast. After all, as the matter is carried out, it involves many government offices and is bound to spread.

But they only knew that this was probably the case.

Only Zhu Yunhuan and other important civil servants such as the heads of the six ministries knew the exact amount of budget allocated.
