Emperor Jingming's "nonsense" did not scare Jiang Zhan at all.

Just kidding, for someone who grew up strong under the fists of my father, a reprimand is like a drizzle to me.

Jiang Zhan's expression became more determined, and he clasped his fists and said, "I beg the emperor to grant my blessing!"

Emperor Jingming sat on the dragon throne, looking down at the young man below, and asked: "Jiang Er, do you know that swords have no eyes?"

Jiang Zhan knelt straight and nodded immediately after hearing this: "Of course I know. It is precisely because of this that we need men to protect our Great Zhou territory at the cost of their own lives."

Emperor Jingming's eyes lit up, and he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair: "You are so unscrupulous! In this case, I will appoint you as General Xuanwu, and you will go south to serve under General Feng next spring."

Jiang Zhan was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers looked at Jiang Zhan with extremely complicated eyes.

On the one hand, he thought that this kid was stupid, giving up the good life of luxury in the capital and insisting on going to the battlefield to die. On the other hand, he felt that this kid had shown off in front of the emperor today. Putting aside other things, as long as he could survive a few years in southern Xinjiang and come back with his hands and feet intact, he would definitely have a bright future.

Tsk tsk, from being an ordinary Jinwu guard, he became a fourth-rank Xuanwu general. This second son of the Dongping Marquis's mansion has really reached the pinnacle of success.

The joy that Jiang Zhan showed sincerely infected Emperor Jingming, making him feel much more relaxed. He asked, "Has General Jiang married yet?"

Jiang Zhan felt very happy, with a silly smile on his face, until Emperor Jingming asked another question, then he realized that the "General Jiang" the emperor was referring to was actually him.

Jiang Jun...

Jiang Zhan felt dizzy.

He was actually called a general, and that person was the emperor!

Emperor Jingming found Jiang Zhan's silly look funny and coughed, "General Jiang?"

Jiang Zhan came to his senses and said honestly, "Your Majesty, I have not yet married."

"Is that so?" Looking at the handsome young man, Emperor Jingming stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Jiang Zhan said hurriedly: "I have to go to the south soon, and I am not ready to get married for the time being. It would be bad to let the girl wait in vain."

Emperor Jingming nodded slightly: "Well, that makes some sense. In that case, it won't be too late to discuss marriage when you return from the south."

Looking at the emperor with a amiable face and then at the young man full of vigor, the ministers began to wonder: What does the emperor mean by this? He is worrying too much...

Jiang Zhan, who received the reward, stepped aside. Emperor Jingming asked his ministers expressionlessly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

All the officials were suddenly silent.

The emperor is using the reward of the second son of the Duke of Dongping to warn others, so who would dare to step forward and cause trouble?

Emperor Jingming was very satisfied with the ministers' interest and slowly stood up: "Let's all go now."

"Withdraw from the court——"

As the eunuch sang loudly, the ministers dispersed one after another.

Zhen Shicheng, who was impeached but unharmed, walked to Jiang Zhan's side and patted his shoulder.

"Uncle Zhen." Jiang Zhan turned his head and saw that it was Zhen Shicheng, and smiled brightly.

Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard and asked with a smile, "Has your father been told that your nephew is going to Southern Xinjiang?"

Jiang Zhan’s smile froze.

Zhen Shicheng patted his shoulder vigorously again and said meaningfully, "Take care, nephew."

If it were his son, he would have beaten him to death eight hundred times already.

Jiang Zhan Feiyang's mood suddenly became heavy. He returned to the Bo's Mansion with his tail between his legs and slipped back to his room.

Jiang Ancheng rushed to Tingzhuju with a stick in his hand.

"Jiang Zhan, get out of here!"

There was no movement for a moment.

Jiang Ancheng strode to the door and raised his foot to kick it, but the door suddenly opened.

"Father..." Jiang Zhan smiled ingratiatingly and quickly glanced at the stick as thick as a tea bowl in Jiang Ancheng's hand.

Jiang Ancheng knocked the ground with a stick: "Tell me what you did today!"

"Son..." Facing Jiang Ancheng's murderous eyes, Jiang Zhan knew that he could not escape the danger, so he confessed honestly, "Son, please ask the emperor to let me go to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang..."

"You idiot, why didn't you discuss this with me?"

Jiang Zhan moved back and said with a dry smile, "My son didn't know that the emperor would suddenly summon me to the palace today."

Jiang Ancheng thought it made sense and calmed down a bit. He suddenly responded, "It's one thing for the emperor to suddenly summon you to the palace, but the fact that you can make such a request shows that you have thought about it a long time ago!"

Jiang Zhan chuckled, which was considered as his agreement.

Jiang Ancheng picked up a stick and hit his calf: "Why didn't you tell your family first? Are you getting cocky?"

He has one son and two daughters. He did not expect them to become successful, but only hoped that they could live a safe and healthy life.

Jiang Zhan dodged the incoming sticks, and suddenly he shouted, "My son and my fourth sister have discussed this..."

The flying stick suddenly stopped in mid-air.

"Have you discussed this with your fourth sister?"

Jiang Zhan nodded vigorously: "Yes, wasn't my son humiliated by the deposed crown prince before, and because of that, the Prince of Yan was imprisoned in the clan house. I felt so aggrieved at the time, I might as well go to the battlefield and kill the enemy."

Jiang Ancheng slapped him: "It feels good to be stabbed!"

After the scolding, there was some hesitation again.

"What did your fourth sister say?"

Jiang Zhan smiled brilliantly: "Of course I agree. If Fourth Sister didn't agree, my son wouldn't have mentioned it to the Emperor."

Jiang Ancheng was choked to death.

Why didn't he tell the father about such a big thing? Instead, he told his sister first. Who else except his son could do such a thing?

But Si'er has always been reliable. Since Si'er thinks there is no problem, he is relieved.

"Ahem, since I've discussed this with your fourth sister, let's forget about it. This won't happen next time."

Jiang Zhan almost cried.

He knew it would be safer to mention it to his fourth sister first.

Staring at his son's young face, Jiang Ancheng couldn't help but ask, "You idiot, are you really not afraid of getting hurt or bleeding?"

Jiang Zhan and Jiang Ancheng looked at each other with a rare serious expression: "Father, in order to protect and realize something, someone will always bleed. Those young people who were injured or even donated their bodies on the battlefield are also other people's sons and brothers... If they can do it, why can't my son?"

He has thought seriously about the future.

Being humiliated by the deposed crown prince was only one reason. Deep down, he did not want to live a life of luxury like this.

Why don't men take Wu Gou and take over the fifty states of Guanshan?

This is the life he wants to pursue.

Jiang Ancheng stared at his son's energetic face, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then left silently with his stick.

Yu Jian hurried into Yuhe Garden, bringing a gust of cold air with him.

He first took off his coat and handed it to the maid, then wiped the mud off his feet and strode into the inner room.

"Asi, today my father commended my uncle during the court session, but the reward my uncle asked for was a little unexpected..."

"Is Second Brother going to Southern Xinjiang?"

Yu Jin was slightly startled: "You knew it a long time ago?"

Jiang Si nodded: "Yes, my second brother mentioned it to me before."

Yu Jin pursed her lips.

It’s time to find a wife for Jiang Zhan!
