PFC Chapter 1120
Chapter 1120
Thinking of this question, Xia Yuanji seemed to come to his senses a little.
He swallowed the half-chewed pastry in his mouth in one gulp, then pursed his lips and looked at Fu Youwen, who was sitting next to him without any arrogance or hostility, and bowed.
Fu Youwen casually picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Asked: "What does Weizhe want to say?"
Xia Yuanji was silent for a moment, but he couldn't help asking, "I am deeply grateful for the kindness that the Minister has shown me, and I will never forget it. It's just..."
"This also leaves students feeling confused and puzzled."
"Master Fu is a key official of the Ming Dynasty, and I am just one of the many students in the Imperial College, not a prominent one... Today is just the first time Master Fu and I have met. Why, Master..."
At this point, the meaning was almost clear. Everyone present understood that he was speaking directly and were asking: You and I have no relationship at all, so why are you so enthusiastic when you see me?
It's just a bit awkward to ask such questions directly.
So after the meaning was almost clear, Xia Yuanji didn't continue to explain it.
When he asked this.
Lin Chengxuan next to him, as well as Yu Xin and Gu Pu, who were grinding their back teeth on the other side, straightened up unconsciously and looked at Fu Youwen with concern.
They were also curious: What was wrong with this old man tonight?
It’s just that they are not good enough and don’t dare to ask.
Fortunately.
Fu Youwen's face showed no sign of embarrassment or hesitation. Instead, he wore a relaxed smile, stroked his beard, and replied calmly, "Don't you understand? I told you from the beginning that His Majesty values you, and he values you exceptionally."
There was nothing unspeakable about this, so Fu Youwen was of course very generous.
Or, a more accurate statement would be: He was just waiting for Xia Yuanji to ask this question!
The Qianqing Palace held Xia Yuanji and the other four until the evening before releasing them. He, the Minister of Revenue, immediately invited everyone over...
How could the scheming man in the Palace of Heavenly Purity not pay attention? How could those lackeys in the Imperial Uniform Guard not try to record his words and deeds and report them to their superiors?
And his answer to Xia Yuanji's question...
Loyalty is a big deal.
Isn't this another great opportunity for advancement? — Your Majesty, I am loyal to you and trust you! Look at your ridiculous decision, and I, your humble servant, have no hesitation or hesitation. I trust you 100%!
I have this little thought hidden in my heart.
Fu Youwen's office door has never been closed.
As for Fu Youwen's answer, Yu Xin, Gu Pu, Xia Yuanji, and Lin Chengxuan all looked at each other with a look of "That's it?"
Just because His Majesty values Xia Yuanji, you, the Minister of Revenue, blindly follow his lead? And even treat this ordinary student with extra courtesy because of it? Aren't you being too reckless?
Obviously, several people found it a little unbelievable.
This was also within Fu Youwen's expectations: he could often see and contact His Majesty, and knew His Majesty's temperament and style of doing things, but in the eyes of others, His Majesty in the Qianqing Palace was more or less absurd and unreliable - do you believe him?
Fu Youwen glanced at the faces of several people.
He put down his teacup, slowly took a small bite of the cake, and said with a matter-of-fact look, "Look at you all, what's there to be unbelievable about this? Your Majesty is gifted, far-sighted, thoughtful, strategic, and capable of both civil and military affairs... What other reasons could I have?"
Fu Youwen glanced at the open door and said every word he could think of. Then he looked at Xia Yuanji and emphasized solemnly, "Weizhe, His Majesty trusts you, which means you have the talent and ability!"
Hearing Fu Youwen's firm answer.
Yu Xin felt a mixture of confusion and contempt. "Oh! Such sincere and high-sounding words... To put it bluntly, isn't it just to please His Majesty? He fled early last time with the Duke of Ying incident, and this time, he directly jumped in on this kind of canonization that violates normal court etiquette. He even praised Xia Yuanji to the skies, disregarding his own status, oh..."
The respect that Gu Pu had originally felt for the elderly Fu Youwen working hard at his desk gradually faded away.
Although he remained silent, he shook his head helplessly.
"Just because... His Majesty values you..." Xia Yuanji murmured half-believingly in a voice that only he could hear.
This is indeed a bit outrageous.
Not to mention trusting an emperor with such a bad reputation, even between brothers or fathers and sons... it is impossible to completely trust each other's judgment.
but……
Although Xia Yuanji's behavior and words did have the intention of showing loyalty and progress, what he said was, if not 100%, at least 80% to 90% of it was from the heart - there was no falsehood in it, so others certainly couldn't hear the falsehood.
Xia Yuanji was a simple-minded person, and coupled with the courtesy Fu Youwen had shown him before, he already had a very good impression of Fu Youwen, so he hesitated for a moment and immediately believed this statement.
After believing Fu Youwen's statement, Xia Yuanji seemed to have suddenly grasped something. He drank tea absentmindedly, frowning and thinking deeply.
After a moment, his eyes lit up and he grasped the key point: "Master Fu completely trusts Your Majesty. In other words, Your Majesty can make Master Fu completely trust you..."
