"You have nothing wrong with what you said. Now is the time for him to get married and have children, but it is also the time for him to make achievements. I believe Jue'er is willing too."

"He doesn't want to!" Prince Xiao shouted, startling Emperor Yuan.

"I wanted to go talk to him last night. As soon as I entered the yard, I heard his voice coming from inside. He said it was great to be back and he didn't have to worry about dying on the battlefield. The person he loved was by his side. He also asked Qingfeng to find a way for him. Qingfeng said that since Miss Bai was back, there was no need to worry, she was in the capital anyway."

"The one you like? Miss Bai?" How come he had never heard of her?

"She is the niece of Concubine Liu. They are childhood sweethearts. She just returned to the capital these two days. Juer has a lot more smiles on her face. Your Majesty, I will not treat the girls of the Prime Minister's Mansion badly. But this Bai Miaomiao is the one Juer likes. I wanted to ask Your Majesty for a marriage certificate today."

"Second brother, you are really confused. If I grant you a marriage, how will the people view me? How will the Prime Minister's Office and the General's Office view me? Have you ever thought about it? Do you think the old general can make you happy with his temper?" Emperor Yuan really didn't know this would happen. It turns out that he doesn't like warming wine because he has someone he likes.

"Don't mention this matter again. Let's make plans for it in the future. Alas, although there are many generals in the court now, I really don't know who to choose." Emperor Yuan was really at a loss.

"There are many talented people in our dynasty. There must be someone who can help my brother solve his problems." Prince Xiao looked at Emperor Yuan secretly. Seeing that he seemed to be shaken, he felt relieved.

"Okay, don't mention the matter between Jue'er and Miss Bai. You favor your concubine, you can't let your son do the same. Go back."

"Yes, I will take my leave."

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince request to see you."

"What's the matter?"

"It seems like he came here for Xue Yuan."

"What a bastard, this prince is the same, instead of working hard in the court, he forms a clique for personal gain, he really doesn't know it, the two of them are fighting in private, and now they are fighting in front of him, tell them to get out!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, please don't be angry."

"Let Prime Minister Xue Zhan enter the palace,"

"Master, don't they feel tired from going back and forth? Why don't they all go together?"

Xiao Jue said nothing as he watched the carriages downstairs heading towards the palace one after another...

"Your Majesty the Prime Minister"

"Mr. Xue"

"The Prime Minister was not at home two days ago. I went there," Xue Zhan reminded him.

"That's unfortunate. I guess I was feeling depressed that day so I went out for a walk." The Prime Minister replied with a bewildered look on his face.

"Hmph." Xue Zhan heard what he said and it seemed that he didn't want to help. Prime Minister Wen went in one by one under the leadership of the eunuch.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty"

"rise"

"My dear ministers, you are all important officials of the court. I urgently summoned you to the palace today to discuss something."

"I dare not"

"The Nanman have been harassing us constantly in recent days. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

"Your Majesty has many generals in the court, and you can choose from them all," said Prime Minister Wen, the old fox, returning the decision-making power to him.

"I appointed generals not to guard the area, but to subdue the southern barbarians."

Several people below started to discuss. It is not easy to subdue them. There is a mysterious tribe on the border of the southern barbarians. The strange gossips in the tribe are very scary.

With a bang, the discussion below stopped. "Listen to what you are saying. Have you read books in vain? You can even make up stories about ghosts and monsters."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It's just that the terrain of the Southern Barbarians is mostly high mountains and steep ridges. The terrain of our Central Plains is really incomparable to that of ours. It's easy to be defeated if you are not familiar with the terrain." Minister of Revenue Xue Zhan said the truth

"Minister Xue is right," Emperor Yuan also thought of it, but should he let the boy go back just like that?

"Your Majesty may as well send a prince to gain some experience. I recommend you as the crown prince." Prime Minister Wen's move was incomprehensible. His daughter was married to the fifth prince, so he had to recommend the fifth prince. How could he be the crown prince?

"I recommend the Fifth Prince. The Crown Prince must follow the Emperor to learn how to handle state affairs. He is the crown prince and must not make any mistakes." Emperor Yuan saw through these two people and did not want the other to go.

"I think the Second Prince can go."

"Yu'er? No, no, he is too docile. He will not be able to watch what happens on the battlefield." Emperor Yuan directly denied it. Everyone knew that this was because of Concubine Wang. The emperor was afraid that he would not be able to explain to Concubine Wang.

"You can recommend children from noble families to follow you."

"Oh? There's a candidate?" Emperor Yuan became excited.

"Chu Yunnan, the eldest son of the Chu family in Yandu, is said to have just taken office." Xue Zhan was telling the emperor that the Chu family could be won over.

Emperor Yuan asked thoughtfully, "Do you have any candidates for the commander-in-chief this time?" He had to admit that Xiao Jue was the only suitable candidate.

"The only person your Majesty is familiar with the terrain is Prince Xiao. He has been there for so many years, I believe he will not let your Majesty down." Prime Minister Wen had to admit

"The Prime Minister is really speaking well of his son-in-law," Xue Zhan said sarcastically.

"May I ask who recommended you, Lord Xue? If we lose the battle, the people of Xiaoxiang will be displaced and their families will be destroyed," Prime Minister Wen asked.

"There are also the General's Mansion who are good at using troops like gods, not just Prince Xiao." As soon as Xue Zhan finished speaking, Emperor Yuan's face turned bad. He had finally removed the old man's military power, so how could he let him take charge of Xiaoxiang? Wouldn't the Su family be in their pockets in this way? He absolutely could not agree to this.

These people are loyal to the emperor and love the country all day long, but they are all civil officials, and their use is limited to the court. Now it is too late to train military generals. The Chu family... seems to be used to monitor Xiao Jue. If they win this battle, it will be fine. They will find a way to keep Xiao Jue in the capital forever. If they lose... then they can't keep him.

"Okay, all of you please leave. I have something to talk to Lord Xue about."

"I am leaving now."

"Mr. Xue, have you investigated the case of your son?"

"Your Majesty, there is no new evidence at the moment. I am also very worried. I believe my son would not kill anyone."

"Get up! What did Dalisi say? I remember that Dalisi is General Su's youngest son. Did he say when the case will be closed?"

"I thank the emperor. I have gone to him to tell the truth, but he refused outright, saying that since the emperor has given him this position, he should handle it well."

“He enforces the law impartially.”

"Your Majesty, I only have this one son, I......"

"Your son killed the only son of the Minister of War. The case is closed. I order him to go to the Dali Temple and exile him to Jiujiang."

"The slave obeys the order"

Xue Zhan understood the emperor's intention of exiling him. It was the law that a person must be killed for a life. At least his life was saved. He would find a way to get him back in the future. Then the emperor asked him to negotiate with the Chu family. This must be the condition given by the emperor. If the negotiation failed, Yuan'er would be in danger. Jiujiang was not far from Xiaoxiang. The emperor really gave a date and then slapped him in the face...
