However, the old emperor acted as if he didn't hear anything. With the help of two young eunuchs, he stood up and walked to the back.

Xie Daoxun and the ninth prince Sun Che followed the old emperor.

Slowly arriving at the Gan Palace, the old prince sat down on the couch and panted for a while again.

Only then did he calm down and said to Xie Daoxun, "Sit down, sit down and talk."

He did not look at the Ninth Prince, so the Ninth Prince had to stand quietly by the side.

Xie Daoxun bowed slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he sat down on the stool brought by the eunuch.

The old emperor said softly: "Prime Minister, I am afraid that my time is running out..."

Xie Daoxun said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't say that. You will definitely recover!"

The old emperor smiled silently, shook his head and said: "I know my own body, it is running out of energy."

"My dear, do you know why I chose Lao Jiu?"

Xie Daoxun said seriously: "The Ninth Prince has a kind nature, and is cunning and intelligent!"

The old emperor shook his head and said with a smile: "This is just one of them!"

Xie Daoxun said nothing, waiting for the old emperor to continue.

The old emperor drank a sip of ginseng tea before continuing, "The second reason is that Old Nine has the least foundation in the court."

"Just as Prince Ying and the others said, it is easier for you to control!"

Xie Daoxun quickly stood up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am extremely terrified!"

The old emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid. The current situation in the nine states is a major change that has not happened in a hundred years."

"And you, Prime Minister, have the talent to rule the world."

"If anyone can lead the Wu Kingdom to an invincible position, I truly believe it must be you!"

"Therefore, I cannot allow the second, third, and especially the sixth son to become the crown prince!"

"If they replace me, they will only hinder you and greatly reduce your talent."

Xie Daoxun kowtowed quickly: "Your Majesty..."

The old emperor said, "Get up, get up and talk."

Xie Daoxun stood up and sat back on the stool.

Then the old emperor continued, "Speaking of Lao Jiu, you said that he has a pure character. I agree with this."

"With your support, your help and guidance, he will definitely grow in the future."

"I believe you!"

Xie Daoxun felt mixed emotions. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"

Only at this time did he turn his gaze to the Ninth Prince.

"Old Nine, do you understand what I mean?"

The Ninth Prince immediately knelt on the ground and said solemnly: "I understand what your Majesty means."

"For matters in the court, we must rely on the Prime Minister and fully utilize his talents."

"In this way, our Wu Kingdom can become increasingly powerful!"

"Don't worry, Father. I will definitely learn from you, Lord Prime Minister, and will not cause you any unnecessary trouble."

"Strive to become like my father, and do your best to catch up with his footsteps!"

The Ninth Prince's words made the old emperor very satisfied.

He nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you can understand father's intention."

"Okay, you go first!"

The Ninth Prince said quickly, "Yes, I will take my leave!"

After the Ninth Prince left, the old emperor looked at Xie Daoxun again.

"My dear, do you think the four countries' attack on Gan will be successful?"

Xie Daoxun's eyes moved, and he said, "Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you."

"Although the four nations have the same goal, they are unable to truly work together."

"Therefore, the possibility of completely destroying Da Gan is not great."

"However, as long as we can give Dagan a devastating blow, it will be impossible for him to recover for decades."

"For our Wu Kingdom, this is already an excellent result!"

"In the next few decades, or even a hundred years, my Wu Kingdom will not only destroy all the other countries."

"At least we can dominate all the countries."

The old emperor nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, but I can't watch such a scene anymore!"

Xie Daoxun said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't think like that, you will definitely recover!"

The old emperor smiled, said nothing, and started coughing violently again.

After coughing for a long time, he finally eased a little and said to Xie Daoxun again: "Since the death of the prince, you have suffered a lot. So many years have passed in a flash."

"My dear, among the men of the country, is there any that you like?"

"I want to see you get married and have a happy family before I die."

Xie Daoxun said: "Your Majesty..."

The old emperor said: "My dear minister, don't worry. I believe you can handle it!"

"No matter which family they are from, as long as you like her, I will arrange a marriage for you!"

Xie Daoxun said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to force this matter. I really don't have anyone I like in my mind."

Hearing this, the old emperor sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, I won't force you."

"However, while you are busy with state affairs, you must also pay attention to your health."

“Take good care of yourself!”

Xie Daoxun nodded quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty, you must also cultivate yourself carefully, the country cannot do without Your Majesty!"

The old emperor waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I'm a little tired."

Xie Daoxun stood up, bowed deeply to the old emperor, then bowed and retreated.

She had not expected what happened today.

It’s not that I didn’t expect that His Majesty would appoint the Ninth Prince as the Crown Prince.

But I didn't expect that His Majesty would say such words to me.

This is a trust as high as the sky and as deep as the earth!

…

Let’s talk about two things. Back in Shu Kingdom, after Zhao Hao sent King Xiaoyao away, he played with Li Yu for several days.

Other than that, nothing was done.

Outside the villa, there were not only spies monitoring, but also hundreds of soldiers.

The entire villa was surrounded and no one could get in or out.

Obviously, there is no concealment of his attitude.

The purpose is to make him hand over the real method of making the thunder bomb.

However, Zhao Hao believed that even if he handed over the real production method, the other party would not let him leave.

night.

On the bed, I had just finished having sex with Li Yu.

Li Yu calmed down and said softly, "I really want to stay with you forever, young master."

Zhao Hao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "The entire villa is surrounded. Your sister, Your Majesty, and your uncle, King Xiaoyao, won't let me leave!"

Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Li Yu immediately asked curiously: "But why don't you seem to be in a hurry to see the young master?"

Zhao Hao said, "What's the use of being anxious? I can't turn into a bird and fly away."

"I think I will end up spending the rest of my life in your Kingdom of Shu!"

Li Yu pouted and said, "If that's true, then I can be with you forever, and we won't be separated anymore!"

As she spoke, she rubbed her cheek against Zhao Hao's chest a few times and put her arms around Zhao Hao's waist.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh softly when he heard this, "Can you withstand this young master's attack?"
