In the imperial study, the emperor and his ministers sat together.

The emperor looked at his nephew in front of him and felt his inherent righteousness.

His tall figure has become much stronger, and his previously pale face is now dark and healthy.

Especially his sharp eagle eyes, so sharp that it made the emperor a little scared. What's going on?

The emperor calmed himself down and shook his dizzy head.

This Zi Sang Yu actually put so much pressure on him.

If this continues, will he be able to keep his kingdom?

Why do I see the shadow of my father in him today?

For a moment, he thought he saw his father.

He calmed down, poured a cup of tea for his nephew, and said with emotion: "You have been gone for another half a year. In the past ten years, you have been alone for me, and your body has suffered a lot.

Fortunately, the stubborn bandits have been defeated. You saved our dynasty from danger. You are truly a hero to our dynasty."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea instead of wine.

Zi Sangyu put down the teacup silently. He didn't know what the emperor meant by summoning him to the palace today.

He wouldn't just be praising himself, that's not the emperor's character.

Therefore, he always restrains his mind, and sharpness is what he needs in recent years.

He said calmly: "Yancheng has basically recovered the cicada food from Diancheng.

Moreover, they also take it as their duty to be loyal to the emperor. I think we will have more stability in the next few years.

However, if we do not want them to become powerful, we should not let down our guard in the future and should restrain and suppress them from time to time."

“Yes, you have been fighting outside for many years, and you know the situation there best.

But I feel that there is no one in this court who can help you, and this makes me feel very sorry.

You see, your health is not good, and yet you are forced to travel outside again and again."

"Your Majesty, do not worry about my health."

I thought to myself: All this is thanks to you. You have always wanted to control me.

Fortunately, the princess has now detoxified most of the poison for me. I will return the favor to you soon.

In the silence, there was only the gurgling sound of boiling tea.

After a long while, the Emperor said, "I heard that your princess is a good doctor and has cured you of many poisons. I am very pleased.

This palace physician has never been able to remove the poison from you. He is such a quack.

For this matter, I have killed several mediocre doctors to vent my anger. "

“Your Majesty, there is no need. It is just that the poison in my body is too strange. I cannot blame the imperial physician for his medical skills. I only blame my nephew for being careless and falling for the evil man’s tricks. I have been poisoned repeatedly.

Now that my nephew has grown up, the person who poisoned him can no longer get close to him.

So please rest assured, Your Majesty. My nephew will not be harmed by that traitor again."

"Yeah." The emperor's mood was too complicated at the moment. Those secret guards in the palace who were said to have great abilities.

In the past two years, I have been unable to enter the palace to poison again. I am such a useless good-for-nothing.

It’s not that I’m afraid of making too much noise, I really want to kill a few more of them.

He glanced at Zi Sangyu quietly, and seeing that he looked calm, resentment rose in his heart.

If you want to get rid of my control, then I will no longer use you. When you are no longer useful, I will get rid of you.

Of course, for now, I want you to bring Sixteen out to me.

Let him get familiar with the frontier, let him gain experience in leading troops, and let him be as powerful as you.

Someone is your successor, what else do I need you to do?

Sixteen and the Prince, one is a civil official, the other a military official.

That was enough. His mind suddenly became clear, as if he had a goal.

So he said: "Sixteen is growing up.

He likes to play with guns and sticks. He has trained a lot in the military camp and has fought in several battles with you.

I want to hand him over to you, so that you, as his elder brother, can take care of him and he can be your helper in the future.

None of my princes likes to play with guns and sticks, but luckily Sixteenth likes it, so I let him go and have some fun."

Zi Sangyu only realized at this time that he was waiting here.

If he asks me to bring him someone who can replace me, and then I am no longer useful to him, will he still keep me?

But this was the emperor's order, and he had no way of disobeying it.

In just a moment, he made up his mind that his plan had to be accelerated and advanced, otherwise he would not know how he died.

After thinking about it, he bowed with both hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise. The sixteenth has made great progress in recent years in the army. The young boy has grown up.

He followed me in those battles, and I could see that he was a rare and talented talent.

I will definitely take good care of him and make him a good assistant to the Emperor."

The emperor thought to himself: I must not let him see my thoughts, so I let him take care of Sixteen and continue to entrust him with important tasks.

Otherwise, if he becomes suspicious, I will be in trouble.

So he laughed and said, "Hahaha, you can't say that, Sixteen is just a kid, he just has a hobby.

I dare not let him be my assistant.

I'll leave it to you, and you just need to help me take care of my younger brother.

He doesn't like to study and he always causes trouble at home, giving me a headache. I'll just leave him to you and let him have some fun."

The uncle and nephew seem to be in harmony, but there are actually undercurrents.

When he came out of the palace, he already had further plans.

After returning to the palace, he asked Ye Chun to find Shen Keran.

This time Shen Keran followed the princess to Dian City and never came back, and stayed with Zi Sangyu.

Let Zi Sangyu see how the generals in the army during the previous emperor's time led their troops to fight.

Not to mention his bravery, his heroic appearance on the battlefield was enough to boost morale.

After returning triumphantly, he returned to the villa, and Zi Sangyu did not let his identity be exposed.

Now, he really has a good helper.

The three young masters also came to the mansion, because they knew early on that the emperor had summoned the prince into the palace early in the morning.

When everyone knew that Sixteen was going to follow Zi Sangyu, they felt a little uneasy.

Zi Sangyu looked at Shen Keran and asked, "What does Uncle Shen think about this?"

Shen Keran fiddled with the charcoal fire and said, "I followed the prince this time and I have seen it.

Whether it is Yancheng or Fengcheng, or the various tribes, they all recognize the prince now, so in the short term, the emperor has no way to control the situation.

As for Sixteen, Your Majesty, just remember not to pass on to him any secrets that you think should not be disclosed.

Just like the emperor said, let him have some fun."

“I think that Sixteen has not grown up yet, and the current external and internal troubles will not pose a threat in the short term.

We can develop our own military strength first, so that when the time comes, we won’t be caught off guard when we need to use it.” Young Master Ning said.

Shen Keran looked at Zi Sangyu and asked, "The elite troops that the late emperor left for you, and my private soldiers in the villa, these two forces are not small forces.

There are still many of the late emperor's old subordinates in the palace, and we can use them all.

So, what we have to do is to unify these forces first.”
