Chapter 231

"Father Emperor, this time I am willing to follow the army to the border to exterminate the Xiongnu."

Fusu said.

He knew that Father Emperor would not forgive him so easily for the mistake he had made this time.

The best way was to join the army together and then completely resolve the Xiongnu.

"Do you know that for this decision against the Xiongnu, you will not be able to return for three to five years?"

Ying Zheng heard Fusu's words and took down the hand he was pressing against his forehead.

He stared sharply at Fusu and then spoke.

"This son knows."

Fusu naturally knew this point, otherwise, why was it that every time the proposal to attack the Xiongnu was made, no one was willing to go?

Wasn't it because the benefits gained from this matter were not as much as the effort put in?

Those people in the officialdom, which one of them was not a sophisticated person?

How could they possibly do such a thankless task?

Fusu was originally unwilling to go to the border to suffer for three to five years.

But he knew that he had made a huge mistake this time; if he did not suffer some hardships, I am afraid it would not be beneficial for his future.

Looking at Fusu's expressionless face, Ying Zheng's gaze flickered.

"Even if I let you go, you can only become an ordinary soldier; are you willing?"

Ying Zheng spoke again.

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Fusu's complexion changed slightly.

Become an ordinary soldier?

This would mean that he would lose the benefits that his status could bring him.

Although the group of people below would not truly treat him as an ordinary soldier.

Letting him go through life and death together with ordinary soldiers.

But at the same time, the conditions he would be in might be even more arduous.

Thinking of this, a hint of struggle flashed across Fusu's face.

As an Imperial Prince, he had lived in a pampered environment for the first half of his life.

To truly disregard everything and suffer, he really could not do it.

"I..."

"I am willing."

After hesitating for a long time, Fusu finally decided to agree.

Hearing Fusu's answer, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes.

"This matter does not require you to go."

"I have already handed the army over to Meng Tian, and this time Meng Tian will personally lead the army to go and exterminate the Xiongnu."

"You return to your palace, and if there is nothing, do not come out."

Ying Zheng closed his eyes and then spoke.

Fusu had not expected that he would still be asked by Ying Zheng to return to the palace and be grounded.

A look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He thought that his request to Father Emperor to go to the battlefield.

The previous inquiry also meant that Ying Zheng had already agreed to his going to the battlefield.

Why was it still returning to the palace?

"Father Emperor..."

Fusu was just about to speak.

"Retire."

Ying Zheng directly interrupted Fusu's words, and his tone became a bit heavier.

Seeming to feel the change in Ying Zheng's tone, Fusu could only shut his mouth.

However, fortunately, Father Emperor seemed to have subsided his anger a bit, so Fusu could only withdraw his thoughts.

After Fusu left the palace, the entire palace fell into silence again.

"Do you know why I did not let him follow Meng Tian to the border?"

Ying Zheng said.

"Since Your Majesty has done so, you naturally have your own plans."

Zhang Han beside him naturally knew that Ying Zheng was speaking to him.

Without even thinking, he answered.

After Ying Zheng heard Zhang Han's words, a smile appeared on his face.

"You are as cautious as ever, and as unwilling to make mistakes as ever."

"That is right, I did not let him follow Meng Tian to the border, I naturally have my plans."

"If he really followed Meng Tian to the border, even Meng Tian would not be able to protect him."

Ying Zheng said slowly.

Zhang Han's complexion changed slightly after hearing His Majesty's words.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that that group of people seems to intend to take action against Young Master Fusu?"

The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up again, but this time it was a sneer.

"If it were not for Fusu being under my nose, I am afraid that group of people would not have tolerated him living until now."

"This group of people truly has great courage."

"Back then they dared to take action against Mo'er behind my back, and this time they actually dare to take action against Fusu openly."

"This time, if I do not find them out completely, it will be hard to dispel the hatred in my heart."

Ying Zheng's gaze was cold, and his voice was chilling.

"So that is why Your Majesty let Young Master Fusu return to his sleeping quarters."

"Your Majesty, are you not afraid that Young Master Fusu will overthink?"

Zhang Han said.

After all, Ying Zheng's tone just now was not very good, and obviously, this could also be considered a kind of punishment.

Although being grounded does not affect much.

"If I do not do this, how would those people shift their attention to me?"

A sneer was on Ying Zheng's face.

He naturally knew that every move he made would definitely be known by people outside.

I am afraid that as soon as he reprimanded Fusu, those people would soon receive the news.

Now that Fusu has been grounded by him, I am afraid that group of people has already learned this news.

That group of people below will definitely guess whether he has already grown tired of Fusu.

As long as that group of people can shift their focus to him, he can proceed with the next steps.

Fusu, who has been loathed by him, will probably not become their target.

Zhang Han looked at the calm-faced Ying Zheng.

He seemed to see the confidence of mastering the overall situation from Ying Zheng's face.

It seems that His Majesty is playing a game of chess again.

Only this time, I do not know who is the chess piece and who is the chess player.
