To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Emperor Xu likes the four words "famous far and wide".

A smile finally appeared on the cold face.

"Yes, that's right. It's not appropriate to think about these things when the envoys are here. After this is over, if the other country really has a change of heart, will you still be willing to lead the army?"

Bai Zhen'an really wants to continue to make achievements at the border.

Like an immortal god of war, protecting the people.

But he is not a reckless man.

I understand in my heart.

The emperor does not want one family to dominate the country.

He knelt down and said: "I am old now. Being able to advise the emperor and solve his problems is already my greatest ability. How can I go into battle and kill the enemy?"

Emperor Xu sighed, "General, you have served the country and the people, but you have hurt yourself. I feel really guilty. If I force you to go to Mobei again, I am afraid it would be too much to ask. You will all call me heartless. Pass on my decree to confer the title of Duke on you. The title will be hereditary and you can choose your successor at will!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Zhen'an knelt on the ground and closed his eyes.

This was the last time someone called him the General.

The emperor helped him up and he stood beside him respectfully.

Emperor Xu paused and said, "Let the Prime Minister go with you to get the military token, so that the old general won't have to make another trip."

The two left the palace and walked in the Forbidden City.

It's a bit of a sigh.

Prime Minister Zhou looked at Bai Zhenan with complicated eyes. They had quarreled before. One was a scholar and the other was a warrior. They had been with the emperor for a long time. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Old general, you can have a good rest now."

Bai Zhenan looked back at the palace, which was becoming smaller and smaller in his eyes.

He nodded and said, "Yes, I can finally have a good rest without having to worry anymore."

Prime Minister Zhou sighed: "Maybe tomorrow, I will also take a rest."

"The Prime Minister has been entrusted with an important task by the Emperor, which is something we cannot envy." Bai Zhen'an said this and then felt relieved. He only had one daughter, Luoxue, and she had not taken sides. As a military general, he was not reckless.

But not flattering.

The emperor doesn't like him.

Emperor Xu held the military token in his hand and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I feel so familiar with you. But I can't lead the army myself. The old general is not in good health. Prime Minister, tell me, if there is a war, who should I let lead the army?"

Prime Minister Zhou thought about it and said.

"The generals are all old. For the sake of the country, we have to train young people."

Emperor Xu nodded: "You are right, but who should go?"

Prime Minister Zhou casually said, "The prince is of noble status and cannot leave Shengjing. The county magistrate is extremely powerful and advocates military force. He is a good candidate to cultivate. In this way, he can also assist the prince. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

The hall was silent and the prime minister broke out in a cold sweat.

Just when he was hesitating whether to kneel down, the emperor spoke with a smile.

"You are right!" Emperor Xu said, "I should let Rong'er go out and explore the world."

At dawn, envoys from various countries and officials from the State of Xu came to the palace again.

As per custom, there will be 'friendly' exchanges between the five nations.

The sky was clear and the wind was gentle. It was a perfect day for playing polo on the field. The palace horse field had been prepared long ago. The women put on military uniforms, waiting for this opportunity to shine. This was Xu State's home field.

But it was the Xige country that won.

This competition has a head start.

Emperor Xu said magnanimously: "I didn't expect that Prince Du's ball skills would improve so rapidly. Tell me what you want, and I can fulfill one of your wishes."

Duqian looked carefully at the seat on the right, "I want to marry a girl from Xu State."

"Who?"

"Jiusu."

"..."

Emperor Xu pinched his brows and explained, "Your Majesty Jiu Ai already has a fiancé, Prince Du, why don't you change one?"

Xu Jincai clenched her hands nervously.

Afraid of choosing her, but also afraid of not choosing her.

Du Qian shook his head and clasped his fists, saying, "I don't mind that she has a fiancé. I'll trouble Emperor Xu to dissolve their marriage. If Emperor Xu doesn't keep his promise, doesn't he say he'll give me a reward?"

Emperor Xu had a serious expression, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

He repeated again: "Jiu Aiqing is not good enough, Prince Du will find someone else."

It’s not because Jiusu is engaged, but because she can create many surprises and is a talented person in Xu State. If she is given to Yi State, wouldn’t it be sending equipment to the enemy country?

Du Qianxi's attitude was also very clear, "I just want to marry her. Does that mean Emperor Xu is going to break his promise?"

Jiang Jing pursed his lips and said coldly, "Isn't Prince Du too disrespectful? The emperor's reward is based on the premise that it does not violate morality and laws. Ah Su is my fiancée. How can you steal someone else's wife? Or are you deliberately making things difficult, trying to take the opportunity to sow discord between the two countries and provoke war? Let me ask you, did you have evil intentions and do it on purpose?"

The military generals did not quite understand these explicit and implicit words.

But when they heard the word "war", they were unwilling to do so. They all stood up, puffed out their chests, and glared at Watanabe.

"Don't make excuses." A layer of cold sweat broke out on Duqian's slender back.

He just wanted to marry a woman, why did he want to start a war?

"Isn't she just a woman?"

Jiang Jing twisted his fingers lightly and met Du Qianxi's eyes full of sarcasm. "Yesterday, we saw the engineering machinery. The one who made this thing was Master Jiu. You just met her for the first time, and you've already started to miss her. Everyone knows what you're thinking."

If this matter is exposed out in the open, it would be a shameful thing.

Du Qianxi's face was not looking good. He looked at Jiusu who was drinking tea and chatting with other noble ladies, and anger burned in his heart.

It seemed as if all this had nothing to do with her. Could it be that she looked down on him from the bottom of her heart and didn't care or worry about his proposal?

He lowered his head and snorted coldly.

"There's no point in taking the first prize. He's just a man who doesn't keep his word! There's nothing good about him."

Jiusu glanced at him and said, "It's just polo. Are you really so proud of yourself for winning? Winning the first prize is just a good omen. Are you really making a wish here? Why don't you wish for the throne?"

In fact, the reward has already been determined.

This is tacitly agreed by everyone.

If he asked for gold, silver and jewelry, he would be greedy for money, but what about stealing his fiancée? He was greedy and sick, and he was challenging the royal dignity of the Xu Kingdom.

Watari frowned: "If you don't agree, we can have a fight."

Jiusu turned his head slightly, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Okay, two people in a group, choose teammates at will, as long as the other party is willing, two out of three games, but this is not a game, it's a bet."

Hiss, after traveling through time, I made quite a few bets.

But she is alone, so she is guaranteed to win.

Watanabe: "If you lose, you will marry me."

Jiusu said: "If you lose, you just need to wear a piece of clothing I made for you and return home without covering your face, that's all."

Everyone was curious about what kind of clothes that was.

The last 'victim' of the bet was Zhang Dai from the Dali Temple, but he is now a die-hard fan of both adults. A few days ago, someone cursed Lord Jiang in order to flatter him.

Got beaten by him.

He knew very well that this dress was not a good thing.

At this time, Duqian smiled in an ambiguous way: "Hey, I gave my clothes back when I lost, you are not in love with me, are you?"

Jiusu said calmly: "If you like to wear it, you don't have to compete, I will give it to you directly."
