Chapter 99 Showing off acting skills with two princes
The seventh prince immediately agreed: "Thank you, General Fu! Can I start practicing martial arts today?"
The palace specially arranged for courtiers to give lessons to the underage princes in turn, giving lectures on classics and history.
Of course, the prince has another class, which talks about how to be a king, and other princes cannot listen to it.
Fu Chen looked at the seventh prince calmly. He was a twelve-year-old child who grew up in the palace with fine clothes and fine food, but was a bit thin and frail.
Apparently he hasn't been treated well over the years.
"Not today, you need to prepare an outfit and bring two changes of clothes so that you can change into them after you sweat."
The seventh prince's eyes sparkled: "I brought them all!"
Fu Chenan:......
"Okay, we'll start soon."
The first day is the physical fitness test.
Fu Chenan asked the seventh prince to stand and box. After a while, he was so tired that he was sweating all over, and his legs were shaking like playing a pipa.
This physique is too weak!
"If you can't handle it, just tell me." Fu Chenan reminded him.
But the seventh prince obviously lost all strength and fell to the ground. After gasping for a few times, he got up again and continued gritting his teeth.
Just don’t say “I can’t do it.”
Fu Chenan saw this with a deep look in his eyes: He has led soldiers and knows that many times, resilience and persistence are more important than talent.
This seventh prince is not simple...
His energy was exhausted and even an hour had not yet come, but Fu Chenan asked the seventh prince to return to the palace as soon as possible after changing.
When they walked away, the captain of the guard stepped forward and asked for instructions: "General, from now on the Seventh Prince will always come to our Marshal's Mansion. What should we do with our business?"
Fu Chenan didn't care: "We usually stay in the front yard and don't let him go to the backyard. And he only comes in the afternoon every day and goes back in the evening, so it's not a big problem."
The guard captain then reported other things.
But things were not as simple as Fu Chenan thought.
The next day, when the seventh prince came again, the third prince came with him.
The third prince was nineteen years old. He had already gotten married, had children, moved out of the palace, and had his own palace.
As soon as he saw Fu Chenan, the third prince smiled as brightly as morning glory: "General Fu, long time no see..."
Every pore on Fu Chen'an's body screamed the word "vigilance".
The third prince is different from the seventh prince. His mother is a noble concubine, his grandfather is a minister, and his disciples are all over the court, but he is serious and competitive for the throne.
Now he is fighting openly and secretly with the second prince and the prince, and almost everyone in the capital knows about their back and forth.
Last year, the third prince received a new errand. He usually squatted in the household department and had no contact with the Fu family.
He actually came over today, which is definitely not a good thing!
But the third prince still wanted to make an excuse seriously: "General Fu, when I went out today, my seventh brother came to your place to practice martial arts, so I sent him over on the way..."
Fu Chenan: I will act with you.
"Your Majesty, the Third Highness, comes to this humble abode, and the flowers are filled with brilliance, hahaha..."
Third Prince: Your smile is too fake...
After entering the room and exchanging a few words, Fu Chenan began to ask the Seventh Prince to take his stand.
Today's seventh prince was obviously not as perseverant as yesterday. After a while, he started playing the pipa with his legs. When he fell to the ground, he wiped his tears and didn't get up for a long time.
Fu Chenan's tooth ached when he saw it: This guy is also acting!
But his aggrieved look and the series of tears falling down were clearly sincere!
He is a twelve-year-old kid who is actually better at pretending than me! ?
Fu Chenan felt frustrated.
It happened that the third prince saw Fu Chenan's angry look at this time, and thought he was dissatisfied with the seventh prince, so he felt even happier.
"I came here today to ask General Fu how to make money and fill the national treasury..."
Fu Chenan hurriedly knelt down in fear and "speak frankly."
"Before, Mo Jiang only knew how to kill pigs, but now he is opening Tao Tao Ji for the first time in history."
"I was lucky enough to make some money, but it was just because I accidentally saved the foreign Sith boss and got the only convenience of having his goods in the capital..."
The Third Prince had naturally heard this kind of rhetoric before, but he asked about Boss Sith's supply channels. "I wonder where the Sith boss's goods come from?"
How can such a question be answered?
Fu Chenan laughed: "Since he is a Western businessman, then these never-seen Western goods must have been brought from the other side of the sea, right?"
"My people are only responsible for picking up the goods from the border. I don't know exactly how he got them here..."
When asked again, Fu Chenan begged for mercy bitterly.
"Your Highness, I just want to earn some money to support my family. You are in charge of the household department, so there is no need to worry about such small money..."
The third prince also expected that Fu Chenan would not talk, so he stopped asking questions after a few probing questions. He just sat and drank tea and watched Fu Chenan teach the seventh prince how to box.
Today, after Fu Chenan asked the Seventh Prince to stand, he practiced two extremely simple moves, which were to squat down and stand up repeatedly, and then punch left and right.
Because he was constantly moving, the Seventh Prince was much more serious this time, but it didn't last very long. He had to stop to take a sip of water and take a breath when practicing for a cup of tea.
The third prince frowned at the sight of him panting like a dog.
This is too weak.
After the seventh prince finished practicing, he was already covered in sweat, his hands and feet were weak, as if he was exhausted.
Fu Chenan asked the seventh prince to eat two pieces of snacks made from white dew and drink a cup of tea to freshen up before leaving with the third prince.
After sending the two Tianhuang nobles to the door and watching them go away, Fu Chenan breathed a silent sigh of relief.
The two ancestors of acting are finally gone.
Returning to the yard again, the guard captain reported to Fu Chenan softly.
"The Third Prince's people checked a large circle of the backyard on the pretext that they were concerned about the Third Prince's safety. Our people followed and did not let them enter your yard."
Fu Chenan nodded lightly.
After recently buying the yard next door, the goods are naturally not in my own yard. Except for putting some in the front yard to hide others, the rest are placed in the yard next door.
On the next day, the third prince was preparing to go to Marshal Fu Chenan's mansion for an excuse, but suddenly an order came from the palace, saying that he should be allowed to enter the palace.
It turns out that his actions aroused the vigilance of the crown prince and the second prince. Today, some officials came to play against the third prince, saying that he was forming a clique for personal gain.
The third prince was almost frightened to death: He just went to the Marshal's Mansion to sit for an hour, how could it become a clique for personal gain?
We were just about to form a party and it was just a matter of success, but we haven’t succeeded yet!
The third prince felt wronged.
His Majesty the Emperor was furious and asked the third prince and Fu Chen'an to enter the palace and make it clear to their faces.
Fu Chenan chuckled and entered the palace with a panicked look on his face.
In the Jinluan Palace, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, His Majesty the Emperor's face turned terribly dark!
"Fu Chen'an, Third Brother, are you really forming a clique for personal gain?"
Fu Chenan and the third prince cried out for injustice at the same time!
"Your Majesty, the general has been wronged..."
"Father, my son and I have been wronged..."
Each voice was more miserable than the last.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "..."
"Then tell me, when you went to Fu Chenan's house yesterday, what did you two say? What did you do?"
Before Fu Chenan could speak, the Emperor waved his hand and two guards came up, one on each side, and headed towards the left and right side halls respectively.
