"Retreat!"

Following Zhu Youwei's order, the Donglin Party ministers, whose backs were soaked with cold sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a desperate attempt to fight against Xu Shan, but what happened in the end?

But it brought him the supreme honor of being promoted to a higher position.

Such a result was beyond their expectations.

But there is nothing I can do about it.

Even some Donglin Party ministers with weak willpower have backed down!

If I get out now, maybe I can have a good ending.

But if we wait for Mr. Xu to free up his hands and clean up one by one...

The lessons learned by Chen Xi and Lu Tao will serve as a lesson for their future generations!

After Zhu Youwei left the Golden Palace, according to the principle of seniority, Prince Ning should be the first to leave the palace.

However, Xu Shan turned around and instead of giving in, he walked ahead of him.

Even when passing by the ministers, he did not forget to question them in public: "Prince Ning, what did I say when I entered the palace..."

"Not only will you fail to bring me down today, but you will actually help me get promoted."

"you……"

Without waiting for Zhu Wusi to finish his words, Xu Shan stopped and glanced at the Donglin Party ministers who were awkwardly standing there.

Then, he said arrogantly, "Continue to join hands and force the palace. The more aggressive you act, the more I will show my favor."

"Especially Prince Ning, you must live a long life. The longer you live, the more secure my position in the Ming Dynasty will be!"

"Haha."

After saying this, Xu Shan ignored the anger of Zhu Wusi and others, and walked out of the Golden Palace first with a loud laugh.

The moment he crossed the threshold of the hall, the ladies-in-waiting, eunuchs, and imperial guards all shouted in unison, "Congratulations, Master Xu, on your meteoric rise to prominence!"

"Haha."

"That sounds good."

"As a reward."

After saying that, Xu Shan took out a silver note and handed it directly to the female official in charge.

"Thank you, Lord Xu, for the reward!"

"Small money, all small money."

"Today we'll raid the home of Chen Xi, the Assistant Minister of War. Tomorrow we'll raid the home of Lu Tao, the Minister of Revenue. The day after tomorrow, we'll find another family from the Donglin Party..."

"This silver is just a drop in the bucket for me!"

At this moment, Xu Shan did not hide his arrogance and domineering behavior at all!

He didn't even try to suppress his voice.

As a result, Zhu Wusi and the Donglin Party ministers, who had not yet left the Golden Palace, heard everything clearly!

I have seen arrogance, but I have never seen such rampant and domineering people.

Even though the ministers present hated him to the core, they all knew...

Nowadays, Xu Yanwang, who is at the peak of his career, is someone they cannot shake.

At least, in the capital, he has the right to look down on everyone as he can cover half the sky with his hands.

Including him, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty - Zhu Wusi!

"Master Xu, His Majesty is in the Yangxin Palace and invites you to dine with him!"

"Ah? The emperor's grace is so great."

"Thank you, Hong Gu, for leading the way."

After Zhu Wusi and others came out of the Golden Palace, they saw Xu Shan and Hong Gu going to the Yangxin Palace for dinner.

Looking across the entire Ming Dynasty, who else has such grace?

"Go to the Lin Mansion on Suzaku Avenue immediately."

"what?"

Hearing what Prince Ning said, several ministers accompanying him were greatly alarmed.

He quickly advised, "Your Highness, it might be inappropriate to meet Prime Minister Lin at this time."

"Xu Shan has already made his point clear. What else do we need to worry about?"

"In this round, either he dies or I die."

"Walk."

"Yes!"

After saying that, everyone followed Prince Ning out of the palace in a hurry.

Inside the Yangxin Palace!

Zhu Youwei was standing by the dining table, looking forward to it.

"Master Xu, please come in!"

Only after hearing what Hong Gu said outside the door did she hurriedly sit there in a dignified manner.

"Your Majesty, I, Xu Shan, pay my respects to you."

"I wish Your Majesty that every year will be blessed with this day, and that you will have a son soon."

"Ok?"

Zhu Youwei, who was originally very reserved, suddenly lost her composure after hearing what Xu Shan said.

Hong Gu, who was standing behind this guy, was stunned at first, then lowered her head with a faint smile, waved her hand to signal the palace maid guarding here, and quickly retreated.

What a joke!

The Emperor has expressed it so clearly, how could she not understand?

I wish you a baby soon, but with whom should I have it?

Isn't this obvious!

"You, you, you...are becoming more and more outrageous."

She wanted to show her imperial dignity and scold Xu Shan. But after she said it, it sounded more like Zhu Youwei was acting like a spoiled child to her lover!

"hey-hey!"

"Youwei, I've always been consistent in what I say and what I think!"

As he said this, Xu Shan sat down next to Zhu Youwei.

Following closely behind, Hong Gu quickly took down the cutlery that was upside down on the dishes to prevent them from getting cold.

Then, he served a bowl of soup to Mr. Xu!

"Hong Gu, let me come."

"Huh? Yes."

After saying that, Hong Gu handed the soup spoon and bowl to Zhu Youwei.

As he bowed and prepared to leave, he smiled and said, "Master Xu, this bowl of soup was personally prepared for you by His Majesty."

"For this reason, I missed the morning court for the first time since I took power."

"Oh?"

"Hong Gu..."

Hearing this, Xu Shan looked at Zhu Youwei in surprise. Where did the latter still have the dragon majesty in the Golden Palace?

Her face flushed red, she looked like a girl!

Hong Gu said no more and retreated with a smile and a bow.

Xu Shan took the bowl of soup, took a sip and said, "Not bad, just as delicious as you!"

"Not serious again."

Having said that, the corners of Zhu Youwei's mouth rose slightly.

During the breakfast, Xu Shan was the one who wolfed down the food, while Zhu Youwei carefully picked up some food for him.

She knew that her man had been busy all night and had not eaten or drunk a drop of water!

"Xu Shan!"

"Ok?"

"Don't try to force yourself to be hated. The capital is no longer what it used to be."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Xu Shan replied with a smile.

"Master Tianshi once told me that the reason you act so arrogantly is that you are attracting hatred for yourself."

"This gives Prince Ning and the Donglin Party a subconscious subjective idea - if they want to target me, they must first overthrow you, Xu Shan."

"You are using this method to stand in front of me and protect me from the wind and rain."

Hearing this, Xu Shan smiled calmly, lowered his head to eat, and added: "Master, what else did you say?"

"He always said that one day, I will be able to recover our lost territory. Your previous self-defeating behavior will lead to the collective impeachment of the so-called 'loyal ministers and generals'."

"When the time comes, I will have no choice but to investigate you for the sake of this country."

"And all of this is within your expectations and calculations!"

"You fought for me, you helped me recover my territory, and finally, you let me use you to establish my authority and secure my throne."

Hearing this, Xu Shan put down his bowl and chopsticks, smiled calmly and said, "What will you do then?"

Zhu Youwei shook her head and replied, "I don't know, and I don't dare to think about it."

"Then you are not a qualified emperor."

"Remember, I don't want to be in the court."

"Ah? Then you..."

"Zhu Youwei!"

"Ok?"

"If you want a martial arts world, I'll give you one. If you want the whole world, I'll give you one."

"And I just want a son. Will you give it to me?"
