Over the years, the prince has helped the emperor solve his problems and fought against the crown prince and King Jing in order to safeguard the imperial power.

He successfully eliminated the Crown Prince and King Jing's followers and purged the court.

But he was unable to retire after achieving his goal and was discarded by the emperor.

Pity their prince's sincere heart...

Xu San didn't dare to think about it any further. He was afraid that if he continued to think about it, he would say something he shouldn't say and bring disaster to his own prince.

Although the emperor is far away here, the whole world belongs to the king, so we still have to be careful in what we say and do.

Li Junyan glanced at the imperial edict in Xu San's hand calmly, "I had expected this long ago. This is the only imperial edict I wanted."

From the beginning to the end, what he wanted was Xizhou, not gold, silver and food from the emperor.

The emperor was unwilling to use the national treasury to rebuild Xizhou and Tingzhou. He only wanted to give both provinces to him and let him and the people in these two places fend for themselves.

He could also take this opportunity to build Tingzhou and Xizhou well.

In some ways, both he and the emperor got what they wanted.

They, father and son, are the most alike.

Li Junyan blinked and looked in the direction where Lin Qi and Thunder Beast left. "Follow them and see. Let Thunder Beast go to the tent to find me later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu San agreed and was about to leave, but Li Junyan stopped him again, "Leave the imperial edict behind."

"Ah?" Xu San was startled and then he remembered that he was still holding the imperial edict in his hand. He hurriedly held it up with both hands and presented it to Li Junyan.
