Chapter 99: Acting with the Two Princes
The Seventh Prince immediately agreed: "Thank you, General Fu! Can I start practicing martial arts today?"

The palace specially arranged for ministers to give lessons to the underage princes in turn, explaining the classics, history, and literature.

Of course, the Crown Prince has other classes on how to be a king, and the other princes are not allowed to attend them.

Fu Chen looked at the Seventh Prince steadily. He was twelve years old and grew up in a palace with fine clothes and delicious food, but he was a little thin and frail.

Obviously he hasn't been treated well over the years.

"Not today. You need to prepare a set of clothes and bring two sets of clothes for you to change after you sweat."

The seventh prince's eyes sparkled: "I brought them all!"

Fu Chenan: ...

"Okay then, we'll start in a moment."

The first day is a physical fitness test.

Fu Chenan asked the Seventh Prince to stand in a fixed position and do boxing. Soon he was exhausted and sweating all over, and his legs were shaking like he was playing a pipa.

This physique is too weak!
"If you can't bear it, just tell me." Fu Chenan reminded him.

But the Seventh Prince clearly fell to the ground due to exhaustion. After gasping for a few times, he got up again and continued with gritted teeth.

Just don’t say “I can’t”.

Fu Chenan saw it all, his eyes deep: He had led soldiers before, and knew very well that in many cases, resilience and persistence were more important than talent.

This Seventh Prince is not a simple person...

Although he was exhausted and less than an hour had passed, Fu Chenan asked the Seventh Prince to change his clothes and return to the palace as soon as possible.

After the people walked away, the captain of the guards came forward to ask, "General, the Seventh Prince will come to our Marshal's Mansion frequently in the future. What will happen to our business?"

Fu Chenan didn't care: "Usually we are in the front yard, so we don't let him go to the back yard. Besides, he only comes in the afternoon and goes back in the evening, so it's not a big problem."

The captain of the guard then started reporting other things.

But things were not as simple as Fu Chenan thought.

On the second day, when the Seventh Prince came again, the Third Prince came with him.

The third prince was nineteen years old. He had already 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 a morning glory: "General Fu, long time no see..."

Every pore on Fu Chen'an's body was screaming "caution".

The third prince is different from the seventh prince. His mother is a noble concubine, his grandfather is a prime minister, and he has many students and friends throughout the court and the country. He is a real contender for the throne.

Now he is fighting openly and secretly with the Second Prince and the Crown Prince, and almost everyone in the capital knows about it.

Last year, the third prince received a new job and usually stayed in the Ministry of Revenue, and had no dealings with the Fu family.

He actually came here today, it’s definitely not a good thing!

But the Third Prince had to find an excuse in all seriousness: "General Fu, when I went out today, I happened to meet my Seventh Brother who came to your place to learn martial arts, so I sent him over on the way..."

Fu Chenan: I’ll act with you.

"Your Highness the Third Prince has visited my humble abode. It brings honor to my humble home. Hahahaha..."

The Third Prince: Your smile is so fake...

After exchanging a few pleasantries after entering the room, Fu Chenan began to ask the Seventh Prince to stand in a posture.

Today's Seventh Prince was obviously not as perseverant as yesterday. After a short while, he started playing the pipa with his legs. He fell to the ground and wiped his tears, not getting up for a long time.

Fu Chenan was so upset that his teeth ached: This kid is also acting!
But his aggrieved look and the tears that rolled down his cheeks clearly revealed his sincerity!

He's a twelve-year-old kid, but he's even more pretentious than me! ?
Fu Chenan felt frustrated.

It happened that at this moment, the Third Prince saw Fu Chenan's angry expression and thought that he was dissatisfied with the Seventh Prince, and 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 trepidation and "told the truth."

"Before, I only knew how to kill pigs. Now I open Tao Tao Ji for the first time in the world."

"I was lucky enough to make some money, but it was because I saved that foreign boss Sis by accident and got the unique convenience of his goods in the capital..."

The Third Prince had naturally heard this before, but he asked about Boss Xisi's supply channels. "Where does Boss Xisi's goods come from?"

How can one answer such a question?
Fu Chenan laughed: "Since he is a Western merchant, then these Western goods that I have never seen before must have been brought from the other side of the sea, right?"

"My people were only responsible for picking up the goods at the border. They don't know how he got them here..."

If asked again, Fu Chenan would beg for mercy bitterly.

"Your Highness, I am only trying to earn enough money to support my family. You are in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, so why do you need to worry about such a small amount of money..."

The Third Prince had expected that Fu Chenan would not say anything, so after trying a few questions and seeing that he could not get any information out of him, he gave up asking any more questions. He just sat there idly drinking tea and watching Fu Chenan teaching the Seventh Prince how to fight.

Today, after Fu Chenan had the Seventh Prince stand in a stance, he practiced two extremely simple moves, which were squatting and standing up repeatedly, and then punching left and right.

Because he was constantly moving, the Seventh Prince was much more serious this time, but he couldn't last very long. He had to stop and drink some water to take a break after practicing for a cup of tea.

The sight of her panting like a dog made the Third Prince frown.

This is too weak.

After the seventh prince finished his practice, he was drenched in sweat, his hands and feet were weak, and he looked as if he was exhausted.

Fu Chenan asked the Seventh Prince to eat two pieces of dessert made with Bailu, drink a cup of tea and wash up before leaving with the Third Prince.

After sending the two nobles to the door and watching them go away, Fu Chenan breathed a sigh of relief silently.

The two ancestors of acting have finally passed away.

Back in the yard, the captain of the guards reported to Fu Chenan in a low voice.

"The Third Prince's men used the excuse of considering the Third Prince's safety to check the backyard. Our people followed them the entire time and didn't let them enter your yard."

Fu Chenan nodded lightly.

After I recently bought the yard next door, the goods are naturally no longer in my own yard. Except for some placed in the front yard for concealment, the rest are placed in the yard next door.

The next day, when the Third Prince was preparing to find an excuse to go to Fu Chenan's Marshal's Mansion again, he suddenly received an oral order from the palace, asking him to enter the palace.

It turned out that his actions had aroused the vigilance of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. Today, a censor reported the Third Prince to the police, 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 for an hour, how did it become forming a clique for personal gain?
It would be fine if the party was about to be formed successfully, but it hasn’t even succeeded yet!
The third prince felt wronged.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious and asked the Third Prince and Fu Chenan to come to the palace to talk things out face to face.

Fu Chenan chuckled, walked out the door, and then entered the palace with a panic-stricken look on his face.

In the Golden Palace, in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, the Emperor's face was extremely dark!

"Fu Chenan, Third Brother, are you really forming a clique for personal gain?"

Fu Chenan and the third prince both cried out for injustice!
"Your Majesty, I am innocent..."

"Father, I am innocent..."

Each voice was more miserable and sad than the other.

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?"

Without waiting for Fu Chenan to speak, the Emperor waved his hand and two guards came up, taking one on each side and going to the left and right side halls respectively.
