When he learned that Youzhou was taken back, Su Li didn't know how to describe his feelings to others.

Like a flood coming, joy welled up in my heart in an instant. Youzhou, which had been taken away by the Nanman for a long time, was so easily taken back by Yan Jue.

Only now did he believe his father's words, that is, the fact that Yan Jue was stronger than General Yan.

At this moment, Yan Jue was a hero in Su Li's eyes.But at the same time, a seed called jealousy was quietly planted in my heart.

The celebration banquet was held that day, Su Li looked at Yan Jue who was surrounded by everyone, and although he was very happy in his heart, this joy was faintly mixed with sourness and discomfort.

Yan Jue has always been unruly. For him, this victory was nothing more than a breeze. His father once told him that when a person is in crisis, he should show weakness appropriately, let the enemy relax his vigilance, and finally give him a fatal blow.

Yan Jue did as he did and won.He drank wine and ate meat.He glanced at every brother who followed him through life and death, and at the same time he did not forget Su Li who was sitting beside him.

"Ninth Prince." Even though he had sworn sworn vows with Su Li, Yan Jue still habitually did not change his address.

Su Li was immersed in his own world, when his name was called suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, seeing that the person calling him was Yan Jue, he raised his head, "Brother Yan, what happened?"

Yan Jue didn't answer, but turned his attention to the soldiers who were drinking around him, and shouted: "Brothers, today's recovery of Youzhou has a lot to do with the Ninth Prince, you have to remember, we Even today, I will be inseparable from the Ninth Prince!"

All the soldiers were already deeply convinced by Yan Jue, and they all shouted together: "Yes! Yes! Yes! The Ninth Prince is mighty, and the Ninth Prince is a hero just like the general."

Su Li looked at the people in front of him who were shouting his name, and a warm current flowed through his heart, and it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

He raised his hand to edit, and thanked everyone present, "Thank you everyone."

The celebration banquet passed quickly like this.

Because of the fact that General Nanman was killed by Yan Jue, even though Nanman still had an army of 30 at the border, the Nanman had lost their morale, and they only had endless fear of Yan Jue.

Nanman quickly left the border of Dongyue with an army of 30, and in this battle, Yan Jue relied on 10,000+ soldiers to recover Youzhou and other important towns.

On the day when the class teacher returned to court, the sky was very gloomy.

The black clouds almost pressed down on the sky, and the air was filled with stuffy factors. The sound of horseshoes came from outside the capital. Yan Jue was wearing armor and had a handsome face. A handsome young man.

The emperor looked at Yan Jue with a gratified smile on his face, but Yan Jue could see his determination from this smile.

The court in the capital is treacherous, and because of the recovery of Youzhou and other matters, the ministers did not know how to make a decision for a while.

The rest of the princes didn't know that Yan Jue was from Su Li's side, and thought that Yan Jue was just a powerless general who regained Youzhou because of his talent in martial arts.

For a while, Yan Jue became the target of the other princes, but Yan Jue revealed his identity in front of the emperor in the palace:
"I'm a rough man. As a martial artist, I feel very honored to be a Hussar General. The reason why I can regain Youzhou today is thanks to the Ninth Prince."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised, and they all set their eyes on the Ninth Prince who had just been reset. The rest of the princes looked at Su Li dangerously, like a hungry wolf, and Su Li was the prey. As long as he appeared In the white light, it seemed as if it was about to be torn apart.

The emperor purposely gave Su Li a chance to speak, "Ninth Prince, are General Yan's words the truth?"

Naturally, Su Li would not let go of this opportunity, "Reporting to my father, the credit for this matter is mostly General Yan, and this minister is just doing his duty."

How could the emperor not know that Su Li was just being modest, he smiled, and said in front of everyone: "Li Er, you don't have to be humble with me, I know that you must have contributed a lot to this matter, you have done it a few years ago It was my father who made a mistake when I demoted you to a commoner. Now, in front of everyone, I will let you restore your status as the Ninth Prince!"

Su Li's expression was agitated, and he knelt down on one knee with a respectful expression, "Thank you, Father!"

Although his father had told him in private that his identity had been restored, he still couldn't help being a little excited when he heard this in front of all his brothers!
After all, this is a kind of affirmation for him, isn't it?

The emperor said loudly: "Get up!"

At the same time, he looked at the other princes, his face darkened, "The Southern barbarian army is coming, only Lao Jiu knows how to find a way, the rest of you are just trash?! What use do I want you to be!"

The rest of the princes knelt down and begged for mercy. They all looked at Su Li with vicious eyes, with viciousness flashing in their eyes.

This old nine is hiding his clumsiness!

They hated it, and at the same time, they were planning something in their hearts.

The emperor rewarded and praised Su Li again, and made Yan Jue a general of Hussars, and dismissed everyone on the grounds that he was unwell.

After everyone left, Eunuch Li hurriedly closed the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, with a helpless expression on his face, "Your Majesty, why do you think you are doing this?"

The emperor, who had been speaking well just now, fell to the ground weakly at this moment, gasping for breath, shouting: "Water..."

Eunuch Li hurriedly handed over the water, the emperor drank a cup of warm water, and his condition has improved a lot.

His face was pale, as if he sensed Eunuch Li's helplessness, he explained with a smile, "Eunuch Li, you have been with me for decades."

Eunuch Li helped the emperor to the sick bed, and replied, "Report to the emperor, this old slave has served the emperor. Counting this year, it will be No. 30 for two years."

The emperor didn't seem to expect Eunuch Li to remember it so clearly, as if thinking of something, his eyes were covered with a layer of warmth, "So, I have been the emperor for 22 years, and this year is only the age when I know my destiny, and my body will be exhausted dry."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about!" Eunuch Li hurriedly stopped.

The emperor stopped him: "I know what is going on with my body. Eunuch Li, I will tell you everything today. When you come to Japan, find a chance and tell the Ninth Prince."

Eunuch Li's face turned serious, "Your Majesty, are you really sure that you are really the Ninth Prince?!"

The emperor nodded affirmatively, "Eunuch Li, there is no better way, just Jiuer."

Eunuch Li sighed helplessly, looked at the emperor in front of him who he had served for decades, and said such frustrating words.
-
It seems that because of Su Li's comeback, the situation in the capital became complicated again. Everyone saw the emperor's attitude towards Su Li, and every prince regretted why he didn't get rid of Su Li earlier.

And Su Li followed Yan Jue's instructions, and did his own thing well, not caring about the other princes' intentional difficulties.

But one day, there was an urgent call from the palace, and even Eunuch Li came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to announce that the Ninth Prince would enter the palace.

Su Li was very confused, he felt a little sad, because Eunuch Li said that his father might not be well.

He immediately rushed to the palace in a carriage, and as soon as he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he saw his father, who used to be serious and disciplined, with a pale complexion, lying on the sickbed with an exhausted appearance.

He was so heartbroken at that time, tears fell down, and he ran directly to his father's sick bed.

"Father." Su Li said two words with trembling voice.

Unexpectedly, the father raised his hand and gently pushed him away.

Su Li was a little puzzled. He was just about to ask his father why he did this, when he saw his father speak:

"Old Nine."

His voice was hoarse beyond recognition.

At this moment, Su Li realized that his father, who had been shielding him like a mountain in the past, might really be going west.

He asked: "Father, what's the matter, my son is here, what does Father want to tell my son?"

"You guessed right, I do have something to tell you." The emperor said, "This matter is related to Dongyue's future fate, Lao Jiu. In fact, I didn't think highly of you at the beginning, and I even prepared to be the king of subjugation. I was ready, but you actually let General Yan's son enter the world, I... suddenly changed my mind."

Hearing these words, Su Li didn't dare to move his body, and even stopped breathing.

In the entire Hall of Mental Cultivation, only the voice of the father, and the shivering sound of the dead branches blown by the breeze outside the window.

"Father, tell me." Su Li knew that the position was probably his own, the position he had wanted for countless days and nights.But I don't know why when it really came to this time, his heart was unexpectedly peaceful like never before.

The emperor smiled, "Old Ninth, you should have already guessed what I'm going to say. However, there are still many procedures. I hope that if you take the position of father emperor in the future, you must know people and be kind." , wipe out the Nanman and Beiyi, and let Dongyue complete the unification."

"This is the task my father taught me, but I haven't completed it, so now this task is in your hands again."

"Okay, don't worry, my father, I will definitely live up to my father's entrustment!"

"However." The emperor looked at the firm expression on Su Li's face, and smiled gratifiedly, "Your brothers are watching, if no one protects you, you may not be able to sit firmly in this position."

Su Li frowned slightly, "Father, what do you mean?"

The emperor nodded, "Old Jiu, you guessed right, the reason why I asked you to find General Yan's son is because General Yan's son is very talented, if you can get his support, you should be able to win the battle." I have passed your imperial brother and the others."

"But, Father..." A strong doubt was taking root in Su Li's heart, and it was about to break out of the ground.

The emperor who has known so many people, how can he not know what Su Li thinks in his heart, "Old Jiu, do you want to ask me why I have taken a fancy to you?"

The thought in his heart was guessed, Su Li nodded hesitantly.

The emperor explained: "Do you know who I owe this illness to? Huh! They are all my good sons, all of your good brothers! I'm not dead yet, they are private The bottom line is already fighting to the death, I will never give the throne to this kind of people!"

He also said: "Although Lao Jiu lacks courage and a pure mind, if you have Yan Jue's help to make up for your shortcomings, I guess you will be able to develop Dongyue more prosperously."

He looked at Su Li, with tears streaming down his cloudy eyes, and waved to Eunuch Li who was guarding outside the hall, beckoning him to come over, "Eunuch Li, come here!"

"Okay, my servant obeys!" Eunuch Li walked over.

"Old Nine, I've finished my words. Father's time is running out. From now on, it will be difficult for you to see father. You must remember what father said."

"Also, you must treat that boy Yan Jue well. I know that you two are already brothers. I don't mind if Dongyue has an extra regent, but you have to remember, don't go to him for the sake of a man's face and self-esteem. Be suspicious of a good general, don’t, don’t, well, let’s go!”

"Father!" Su Li shouted again, but the emperor who was lying on the bed closed his eyes and did not speak.

Su Li knew that his father wanted to leave by himself, he hesitated to look at Eunuch Li, who also sighed, and then gestured to Su Li, "Ninth prince, the emperor told you to go out!" , you go out quickly."

He waved to the little eunuch next to him again, "Xiao Shunzi, come here and send the Ninth Prince off!"

"Okay!" Xiao Shunzi got the order and ran out with Su Li.

When Xiao Shunzi sent Su Li out, he followed Su Li like a dog's leg. Su Li frowned slightly when he saw it, and didn't pay attention to the steps in front of him for a moment.

Xiao Shunzi had quick eyes and quick hands, "Ninth Prince, be careful!"

Before Su Li fell to the ground, Eunuch Shun used himself as a meat pad.

It's not that Su Li doesn't know martial arts, he felt a little funny when he saw the eunuch's appearance.

"I didn't fall, you don't have to." He said with a smile.

Xiao Shunzi blushed, "Ninth Prince, this slave has been ordered by the master to send you off well, you have to watch the way carefully!"

Su Li said a low "um", looked at the eunuch, and asked, "What's your name?"

Xiao Shunzi was taken aback, and responded cheerfully: "To the Ninth Prince, the slave has no name, but the master of the slave likes to call the slave Xiao Shunzi!"

"Xiao Shunzi?" Su Li knew in his heart that this should be Eunuch Li's apprentice.

As a prince, it's not too much for him to ask for an eunuch. For some reason, Su Li felt that this little Shunzi looked very pleasing to the eye, "You will come to the Ninth Prince's Mansion as an errand in the future, and I will have a good word with your master!"

The surprise came so suddenly, Xiao Shunzi was stunned, he looked at Su Li in disbelief, "Jiu, Prince, you, you, you, are you serious?"

Su Li raised his eyebrows, "Could it be fake?"

With Su Li's affirmation, Xiao Shunzi was so excited, he jumped up and down happily, he must tell the good news to his master!
Seeing the little eunuch so excited, Su Li smiled helplessly, feeling a rare softness in his heart.
