"What!? Even Duke Ying..."

Zhan Hui and others around Fu Youwen all frowned.

Even the founding fathers couldn't persuade him.

They naturally feel even more powerless.

"How could His Majesty do this..." At this moment, everyone naturally had a lot to complain about Zhu Yunhu, the little emperor who "dug his own grave". However, such disrespectful words could be said in private. This was the gate of the imperial palace, and no matter how disappointed and angry they were, they still had to be sensible.

Every word almost came out of my mouth.

Everything stopped abruptly, and he just pursed his lips, wanting to say something but not daring to say it, and his face turned red from holding it in.

Everywhere there were sighs of deep disappointment.

"Whoa!"

"This, this, this..."

"In the future...Alas!"

"..."

Fu Youwen thought about the numbers and felt a little amused, but he acted even more excitedly. He lowered his eyes and shook his head, but his voice rose several notches in mock anger and said, "I can't persuade him! I can't persuade him at all!"

Of course, he said this on purpose - he was speaking to the Huaixi nobles.

The nobles in Huaixi also heard it.

The expressions on everyone's faces immediately relaxed a lot: "Did you hear what that old man Fu Youwen said? And those damned corrupt scholars over there... Hehe! It seems that this matter is really a done deal!"

"Exactly! That old man Fu Youwen and Duke Ying are brothers. Even the old man looks like he's about to die."

"..."

The gathered Huaixi nobles all looked in the direction of Fu Youwen, Zhan Hui and others, with smugness and gloating expressions on their faces.

Especially when you see the people opposite you sighing or slapping their thighs.

I felt even more happy.

Even Zhang Yi, Cao Xing and Zhu Shou, who had been brainwashed by Zhou Lixuan and Fan Songde for a whole night, were speechless - after all, if there really was something fishy going on here, how could they guarantee that everyone would be so united in thought and sincere as to do such a thing?

At this time, a young servant in a cotton coat walked through the crowd of people in groups of three or four and came towards the front.

The man walked with a limp, which was even more eye-catching.

Everyone squinted their eyes and looked, and many people's pupils moved - many people were really familiar with this servant.

"Sixth son, why are you here so early in the morning? Your master returned to Yingtian Prefecture yesterday. Shouldn't he come to court today?" Fu Youwen stepped forward first and asked.

The man who came was none other than Fu Youde's housekeeper, named "Sixth Son", who was also a remnant soldier who had left the battlefield.

Liuzi walked up to Fu Youwen.

He clasped his fists in greeting to Fu Youwen and the other nobles from Huaixi, then turned to Fu Youwen and said, "In reply to Lord Fu, His Majesty has sent a message to our master, saying that he, an old Duke, has been tired of running around, so he won't let us attend court. He needs to rest and recuperate."

"My master, grateful for the emperor's grace, dared not disobey the order and attend court today. He rose early and set out for Fujian. I'm afraid he's already left Yingtian Prefecture by now."

"We've already left Yingtian Prefecture?" This was something Fu Youwen had not expected, but when he came to his senses and thought about it, he felt that it would be better to leave early. Anyway, the desired effect had already been achieved, so it would save some people from being restless.

After a pause, he looked at Liuzi and said, "Then you came here because Youde wanted you to bring something to me?" He asked this question out of the identity of an older brother. The two brothers were rarely together, and it was natural for Fu Youwen to feel sad that he left without saying goodbye.

Liuzi, who was a little hunched, nodded and said the words he had brought to Fu Youde: "Reply to Master Fu."

"The master said that he had the emperor's order and had no time to say goodbye to my brother. From now on, my younger brother will serve His Majesty in Zhejiang and Fujian, and my older brother will serve His Majesty wholeheartedly in the court."
