“Although we are not in the same place, we are as if we were there.”

"I hope you take care of yourself, brother."

As Liuzi finished speaking, Fu Youwen's worries subsided a little. He nodded and said, "Okay, I heard you. Thank you for taking the trouble to come here."

Liuzi smiled nonchalantly, "Master Fu, what are you talking about? I've been by the master's side since I was young, and nothing the master asks me to do is hard. Besides, the master is not in Yingtian Prefecture, so I have even less time."

"I'd be glad to have something to do."

Although he was smiling and looked old, his eyes still carried the lingering feeling of war and battle, like an old knife covered with rust.

Fu Youwen didn't say anything more, just smiled faintly and waved his hand for him to go back.

The old housekeeper named "Sixth Son" brought some concise words to Fu Youwen. Whether it fell into the ears of the Huaixi nobles or the many civil officials behind Fu Youwen, it was like a big stone falling into a calm lake.

Everyone first focused their attention on Fu Youwen as he listened, and then each of them was stunned with different expressions.

Wait until Liuzi walks away.

Fu Youwen just heard someone behind him slapping his thigh in grief, and sighed deeply, "It's all gone. They've all left Yingtian Prefecture. There's not even a shred of room for redemption!"

"Oh! In this situation, unless His Majesty suddenly changes his mind and sends an imperial edict to the Duke of Ying who is on his way to call him back, otherwise... it will be extremely difficult in the future."

"We absolutely cannot do this! We will go and persuade His Majesty to revoke his order!"

"What's the point of advising His Majesty? Have you forgotten where President Liu (Liu Sanwu, the head of the Hanlin Academy) is? And what happened to the Right Censor-in-Chief (Yuan Tai, who was forked out) a few days ago?"

"This kind of thing cannot be let go even if you die!"

"..."

The sudden news was like a bolt from the blue for Zhan Hui and his group.

Before this, many people still thought that they could make more efforts to persuade Zhu Yunhuan.

But now Fu Youde is gone.

I had basically given up hope to begin with, and now there's even less room for hope...

Think of this.

Many people's eyes revealed a look of determination - on a matter that concerns everyone's life and death, can't they persuade him? Even if persuasion fails, they must persuade him! - This matter is more than just one or two ridiculous decrees!

It means that bandits and military officials are in power.

It means that the Ming Dynasty is in chaos.

It means that what is bound to happen is that the Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil again.

Among them.

Of course, there are people who adhere to the Confucian ideas, are loyal to the emperor and love their country, and are willing to pay with their lives even if it means blood is splattered within a few steps.

But even if they didn't have such thoughts, for these "poor scholars" who were looked down upon by the military heroes, in order to have room for development in the future and the opportunity to have a say in the court... they had to make a fuss and support the young emperor Zhu Yunhuan to break free from the constraints and hostage-taking of the Huaixi nobles.

So now.

These people worked together in an unprecedented way, with unprecedented determination, even to the point of risking their lives.

And at the same time.

Among the Huaixi nobles, all of them smiled knowingly, especially the people they had sent out to closely monitor Fu Youde, who came back a short while later to report the news - they saw with their own eyes that Fu Youde left the city with his bag on his back and galloped towards Fujian on horseback.

The tense expressions on everyone's faces receded like the tide, replaced by a look of relaxation and relief.

"Hahahaha! We've been so nervous since yesterday and today, and it turns out we misunderstood. We were overthinking it! We were saying there couldn't be so much fakery and deception, right? Now, everything's fine, isn't it?"

"Not only is there nothing false or fake about this, His Majesty even arranged for Old Master to leave the capital early! This shows that he has never considered this matter at all!"
