Chapter 495

But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see Young Master Prince Fusu's figure.

Fu Nian paced back and forth in the palace somewhat anxiously.

Didn't the news from the palace servant say that Young Master Prince Fusu had long since left Ying Zheng's sleeping quarters?

Why is there still no sign of Young Master Prince Fusu returning?

After waiting patiently for a while, he still didn't see Young Master Prince Fusu's figure.

Fu Nian turned around and intended to go out and look for him personally.

Just as he intended to leave, he saw a familiar figure at the door.

"Young Master, you are finally back."

Fu Nian hurriedly stepped forward and said anxiously.

Hearing this sound, Young Master Prince Fusu's distracted eyes raised and looked over.

"The teacher hasn't left yet."

Prince Fusu said somewhat distractedly.

He thought the teacher had long since left; he didn't expect him to be waiting here.

"Young Master, what exactly happened to make His Majesty scold you?"

Fu Nian asked somewhat anxiously.

He had staked all the treasures of the Confucian school on Prince Fusu.

Prince Fusu must become the next successor so that the glory of their Confucian school can continue.

Perhaps because there was a close person by his side, Prince Fusu's mind also relaxed a bit.

"I told the Father Emperor that the national treasury is empty, so don't send troops on an expedition to attack the Xiongnu again."

"Although the Xiongnu often invade the Great Qin border, they also have their hardships."

"So I intended to let the Father Emperor send envoys to seek peace with the Xiongnu."

"But I didn't expect the Father Emperor to be furious on the spot and even scold me."

Prince Fusu told everything that happened in the palace.

After Fu Nian finished listening, he was speechless for a while.

He didn't expect Young Master Prince Fusu to actually say that the Xiongnu had their hardships in front of Ying Zheng.

Fu Nian immediately felt somewhat dizzy.

His chest was constantly heaving.

He didn't expect that the excuse he had casually found to persuade Prince Fusu would actually be taken to heart by Prince Fusu.

Taking it to heart was one thing, but he didn't expect Prince Fusu to actually say it in front of Ying Zheng.

Even he knew that Ying Zheng insisted on attacking the Xiongnu entirely because of Young Master Mo back then.

But he didn't expect Prince Fusu to seem not to have thought of this point at all, only worrying about other things.

"Does the Young Master know why His Majesty wants to attack the Xiongnu?"

Fu Nian asked while suppressing his anger.

"Isn't it because the Xiongnu invade our Great Qin border."

Prince Fusu looked up at his teacher somewhat blankly, somewhat puzzled why he would ask such a question.

Looking at Prince Fusu's eyes, Fu Nian took another deep breath.

"Young Master Mo died at the hands of the Xiongnu back then."

"Over these years, His Majesty has never given up on attacking the Xiongnu."

Fu Nian said indifferently.

As soon as his words were finished, Prince Fusu was stunned.

He had actually forgotten this point.

Prince Fusu's entire body trembled violently; he suddenly understood why Ying Zheng was so angry.

The elder brother had died at the hands of those Xiongnu back then.

He actually chose to send people to seek peace with the Xiongnu.

Prince Fusu's face immediately became incomparably ugly.

"What should I do?"

"I actually forgot this point."

"Is the Father Emperor completely angry? Because he completely loathes me."

Prince Fusu said somewhat frantically.

"Young Master, calm down."

Fu Nian said loudly.

At the same time, he let the palace servants beside him leave immediately.

Those palace servants were also very observant, walking out of the palace one by one and closing the door.

"Young Master, calm down; the matter has already happened."

Fu Nian said again.

Two consecutive openings finally made Prince Fusu's emotions improve somewhat.

"This matter has already happened, so we can only find a way to remedy it."

"Although you have already angered His Majesty, fortunately, there is still a chance to remedy it."

Fu Nian also didn't expect Prince Fusu to be so stupid this time.

But since he had already staked his bet on Prince Fusu, naturally he would not ignore him.

The only way was to clear up the view Prince Fusu gave Ying Zheng in this matter.

"Teacher, what do you think should be done to solve this matter?"

Prince Fusu looked up and saw Fu Nian, his eyes filled with trust.

Seeing Prince Fusu's eyes, Fu Nian's heart was satisfied by a few points.

As long as Prince Fusu trusts the Confucian school, their Confucian school will be more stable in the future.

Ever since Ying Zheng unified the six states, he had never decided which force to believe in.

Their Confucian school was somewhat useful for governing the country, so Ying Zheng also valued their Confucian school.

But to say he valued them, he didn't value them that much either.

Otherwise, with Fu Nian's status, he would not still be drifting outside the imperial court.

For this reason, Fu Nian could only rely on himself to find a way out for their Confucian school.

The best way was to gain the trust of the next successor.

Only when the next successor values their Confucian school more will their Confucian school be able to develop.

"Young Master, listen to me."

"You go and kneel in front of His Majesty's sleeping quarters now."

"Say that you are unwilling to send troops on an expedition not because of anything else, but because the national treasury is empty, so you will take the lead in donating all your family wealth."

"From now on, live frugally."

"You, as an imperial son, set an example, and the civil and military officials underneath will naturally not remain indifferent."

"This way, you can raise a large sum of military pay in the shortest time."

"Because His Majesty solved the problem of military pay, perhaps His Majesty will not be so angry anymore."

Fu Nian said.

After learning the truth of the matter, he already had a solution in his mind.

After Fu Nian thought for a moment, this was indeed the only way to regain the Father Emperor's trust.
