Xiao Yihang's words undoubtedly touched the emperor's sore spot. He angrily slammed the imperial desk and said in a deep voice: "The second prince, Prince Ning, has failed to live up to my trust. He is no longer suitable to be the commander of the Changyu Army. For the time being,..."

He glanced at Xiao Hanye and Xiao Jun'an, who had calm expressions, with a meaningful look, and then changed the subject.

"Pei Zhiyan, the commander of the city defense army, will take charge!"

Everyone looked up in surprise.

Pei Zhiyan is a talented young man who is deeply favored by the emperor. It is not surprising that he temporarily takes over as the commander of the Changyu Army. But after he is transferred, who will take over the position of commander of the city defense army?

"The current position of the commander of the city defense army is temporarily taken over by the left deputy commander Jun Mo! Prince Chen is promoted to the left deputy commander! If anyone makes a mistake again, I will let the Royal Guards beat him in public!"

The emperor said the last sentence to Xiao Yihang.

Although the assassination of him and Xiao Hanye ultimately pointed to the Queen, there were many doubts and he could not easily draw a conclusion.

How could Xiao Yihang take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury before finding out the facts?

Besides, as the father, he always takes the lead in everything, so it is never the turn of a young son like him to take advantage of the situation.

Today is only his first time to attend court, but he is already eager to become famous. His arrogant appearance is becoming more and more like his fourth brother who is born to the same mother!

Don’t learn the good things, and don’t miss any bad things.

Jun Mo was once Xiao Jun'an's deputy, in other words, he was Xiao Jun'an's man. He hoped that Xiao Yihang could learn more from Xiao Jun'an, be righteous, respect elders, and unite brothers.

He intended to build up Xiao Jun'an's power.

However, the Yao family has deep roots and connections. If we rashly hand over the military power of the Beiyu Army to him, it might cause a chain reaction. It is better to temporarily hand it over to the pure minister Pei family and then slowly transfer power in the future.

Xiao Jingrui glared at Xiao Yihang angrily. He wanted to make amends, but was directly ordered coldly by the emperor.

"Prince Yu, Prince Yan, Prime Minister Shen, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Revenue stay, the rest of you leave the court!"

Jiang Shou's powerful voice immediately lingered in the hall: "Dismiss the court!"

Xiao Jingrui clenched his fists and could only lean forward and leave the court helplessly.

Xiao Jun'an looked at the furrows between the emperor's brows and was the first to speak: "Your son is willing to lead the troops to suppress it!"

The emperor relaxed his frown, feeling quite relieved. He then looked at Xiao Hanye and asked, "Fourth Brother, what do you think?"

Xiao Hanye unexpectedly said, "I agree with what my third brother said. The Eastern Yu Kingdom dared to tear up the alliance between the two countries without authorization and wantonly provoke the people on the border of our Northern Xiao Kingdom. Such arrogant behavior must not be tolerated. We should send troops immediately, so father, please send my third brother!"

For some reason, he didn't want to fight this time.

The small country of Dongyu overestimates its own capabilities. It is only a matter of time before it is destroyed. Whoever goes to this battle will reap the credit, but he has made many military achievements and does not need this one!

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at him steadily. Seeing that his handsome face had no extra expression, he said quietly, "Your third brother sent troops to suppress it. What about you?"

Xiao Hanye replied: "I will send troops to monitor the movements of Nanye Kingdom at any time to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation!"

The emperor saw that his reply was serious and reasonable, and he couldn't find any words to refute for a while, but he just felt that it was strange.

Xiao Hanye was a warmonger. Whenever there was unrest in the past, he would kill first and report later, and fly straight to the enemy's doorstep. This time, the enemy was almost at his own doorstep, but he behaved out of character.

There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary, so he said quietly: "This time, the Dongyu Kingdom is looking for trouble while stealing the military defense map. They must be prepared for a war. Your third brother does not have as much practical experience as you, so you will lead the troops to the West Sea to suppress it. The new Beiyu Army Marshal Pei Zhiyan will send troops to monitor the movements of the Nanye Kingdom, and your third brother will be responsible for protecting the safety of the capital! What do you think?"

Xiao Hanye: “…”

He was distracted for a moment and was caught off guard by the emperor again: "Since the King of Yan has no objection, do the ministers have any objection?"

The other ministers immediately bowed their heads upon seeing this, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, if the Prince of Yan goes to the battle personally, he will surely succeed!"

Xiao Jun'an also sincerely accepted the order and said: "Don't worry, father, I will definitely protect the safety of our capital!"

The emperor smiled contentedly, a cunning light flashing in his phoenix eyes.

What does it matter if others have more ideas? Can they be more than him? Even if they are more than him, can they surpass him? He can still subdue them by force. This is power! Supreme power!

The power that everyone yearns for!

He picked up a cup of tea, took a sip of tea, and said to Xiao Hanye again: "You will lead the troops to fight in three days. Go to see your grandmother and mother while you are in the palace. Don't let them miss you all the time!"

Xiao Hanye's eyes were dim, and he said calmly: "Yes, I will go right away!"

Since the old emperor favors the third brother and is reluctant to let him go to the cold land to fight, then let him go.

Since childhood, he has watched how his father favors his third brother.

He and his third brother were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but their birthday was the death anniversary of the late Empress Xiaoren. So, on that day, the emperor was in a very low mood, and no sound of stringed instruments was allowed in the entire palace. He would lock himself in his bedroom to reminisce alone, but before that he would send Jiang Shou to the Prince Yu's Mansion to deliver a birthday gift to the Prince Yu.

But he had nothing, and he had never even celebrated his own birthday!

But none of this matters!

What's important is that he knows what he wants?

Xiao Hanye bowed, then strode away with his head held high and nothing in his way.

As for Chu Nanyue, she first went to Cangyue Hotpot Restaurant to see her elder brother. Seeing that everything in the hotpot restaurant was going according to plan and in good order, she reminded her elder brother not to overwork himself, and then went to the pharmacy.

Three people went there and two came back.

Xiangxiang shamelessly stayed in the hot pot restaurant, saying that she was helping but actually doing something secretly.

Chu Nanyue wanted to bring her elder brother and Su Xi together, but... forget it... the gap is a bit big...

As for Xiangxiang, she didn't mean to belittle her, but it was obvious that Big Brother didn't like her.

Let her endure the cold stare from her elder brother and wake up on her own!

Besides, Cangyue store is full of handsome servants, maybe there is one who catches my eye.

She touched the two thousand taels of silver on her chest with a painful feeling.

Oh! Forget it! The twenty thousand taels in the house were all given to her as a reward.

Besides, the set of pure gold or silver surgical supplies made for her elder brother must be worth no less than two thousand taels, so she couldn't be too stingy.

She wants to make a Qiancao Pill, which can make people immune to all poisons after taking it!

But it is fundamentally different from Baicao Pills!

Baicao Pills can only cure a hundred poisons and their effect is short-lived, but Qiancao Pills are a combination of most of the herbs in the world. In addition to being able to cure most of the poisons in the world, the most important thing is that they are lifelong!

Therefore it is extremely difficult to make.

In addition to purchasing various medicinal herbs at high prices, she also needs to cultivate medicinal herbs that are not available on the market. Fortunately, she has successfully cultivated one... What a cheap damn thing.

Firstly, she wanted to exchange surgical supplies for equal value, and secondly, she was afraid that the bastard would get unlucky enough to be poisoned by some kind of poison and take her away from him in the future, so she cut him off at the root!

Just ask you if you are smart?

But it still hurts!
