The splendid palaces are one after another, and the corridor paved with bright yellow crystal floor tiles stretches to the end of the sight, as if it will never be finished!

On both sides of the corridor, every twenty meters stood two high-level supernatural beings dressed in golden heavy light armor and fully armed, behind those high palace walls, rockeries, waterfalls, and attics, there were many faint and powerful aura permeating out, and even the yellow-clothed court lady who led the way in front was also a powerful figure hidden in the depths! It can be seen that this seemingly calm imperial palace is actually a fortress with extremely high security!

Along the way, there were at least hundreds of domineering, soft, obscure, or sharp energy breaths swept over him! The owners of these breaths were obviously extremely interested in his state and extremely horrified! Such a young twelveth-order powerhouse had never heard of it before!

"Your Majesty is in the pavilion in front, you go by yourself!" After walking for a while, she came to a beautiful lake, and the female officer stopped and turned to him.

The surface of the lake is like a mirror, and the clear water is like a flawless jade. In the very center of the lake is a small pavilion connected to the shore by a long wooden bridge. Fang Xu was pouring himself a drink inside.

"It's hard work!" He nodded, and walked towards the bridge.

When the palace guards on the shore saw him coming, they did not check him, but they should have been instructed in advance.

"Are you coming?" Fang Xu turned his head slightly, looking at the young general who walked in, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Raising his hand to stop him from saluting, he pointed to the stone bench opposite and said, "Sit down and talk!" ”

Yun Haoyu did as he said and sat down on the stool,

Fang Xu looked at this young man with a calm face and clear eyes, and the appreciation in his eyes was even stronger!

"Pretty well resting at home?" He smiled, "I called you this time just to talk, you don't have to be too restrained!" ”

He raised his hand to serve the wine bottle in front of him, only to find that it had already bottomed out. Yun Haoyu hurriedly took the silver kettle next to him and filled a bottle for him.

"Well, you can try it too! This is a treasure of the royal family, the heavenly dew elixir, which was brewed by a prince who was fond of things in the cup two thousand years ago! Fang Xu picked up the wine bottle and gestured to him slightly.

Yun Haoyu took a wine bottle and poured it full, picked it up and touched it lightly with him, and then drank it all. In the mouth of the clear liquor, I only felt a sense of coolness instantly spread all over the limbs, and the pores around the body suddenly tightened, and then loosened again, as if the whole body and mind had been cleansed, and it was indescribably refreshing.

"It's really good wine!" He exclaimed, "And this wine vessel, it's also very good!" ”

Fang Xu said with a smile: "This set of wine utensils is carved from a whole piece of ice rhinomel jade, and it is also made by that prince!" A good collection indeed! If you like it, I'll give it to you, and I'll give you a few jars of wine, and I'll take it back with you! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He hurriedly got up and saluted.

After a pause, he smiled and asked, "This majesty is really a wine taster, no wonder he can make such a peerless wine!" I wonder if he also retained this habit of making wine himself after he ascended the throne? ”

"I'm talking about the prince, not the emperor!" Fang Xuling slowly played with the wine bottle in his hand and said indifferently.

He was slightly stunned: "Isn't the prince the future emperor?" Yes, this prince died young, so he failed to succeed to the throne? ”

"Who said that the prince would definitely become the emperor?" Fang Xuling's voice was still flat.

Yun Haoyu's heart was awe-inspiring, at this time, no matter how dull he was, he could hear that His Majesty meant something! Thinking of some movements in the past few days, he had already guessed that today's summons would not be as simple as drinking wine and chatting!

However, there is one thing he still does not understand, this majesty does not seem to be very old, he is in the prime of spring and autumn, and he has never heard of any serious illness. If nothing else, within fifty years, the imperial government and the opposition will not need to think about this aspect at all! Why is it that now, all of a sudden, a group of officials jumped out and started to coax?

Besides, this kind of thing is the emperor's family affair after all, and if the foreign minister is too deeply involved, it will definitely be a blessing and a curse! He doesn't think he's an exception either! Of course, it is even more impossible to actively mix in.

So, wisely, he did not speak again, but sat upright, quietly waiting for His Majesty's next words.

Fang Xuling looked at his demeanor, how could he not understand his thoughts? couldn't help but smile and said: "You don't have to be nervous, what I said to you today will only be a chat, and there will be no recording, and there will be no records on file!" Just say what you want! ”

"You already know what's going on out there! I just want to know, what do you think of those guys? ”

"Your Majesty, no matter what, this matter is not qualified to be discussed!" He said cautiously, "The minister is the courtier of the empire, and he defends the interests of the empire!" No matter who Your Majesty is interested in in the future, the minister will swear allegiance! No two minds! ”

"I told you to say it, what are you worried about?" Fang Xu said unhappily, "Could it be that he is invincible on the battlefield and is a genius who is not afraid of countless Borostos!" Don't you even dare to say a few words after returning home? Where is your courage? ”

Yun Haoyu was helpless, thought for a moment, and said carefully: "If the empire is in a period of peace, then these few can be considered; But now, the empire is in an eventful season, with the power of the family inside, and the countries of the Star Sea eyeing each other, not to mention the old civilizations with their own calculations, and the Borosto people who have made a comeback decades later! ”

"For the sake of the continuation of the country and the well-being of trillions of people, the future empire must be led by a monarch who is capable and prestigious enough to serve the people!"

"There is some truth!" Fang Xu bowed slightly, "Then what do you think, among these heirs of mine, which one meets the standard you said?" In other words, who would you prefer to follow in the future? ”

"In terms of ability and prestige, these highnesses are insufficient!" Looking at Fang Xuling's face, he said cautiously: "His Royal Highness Fang Yukun is a lot stronger in this regard, but he is not from His Majesty, once he ascends to the throne in the future, the pattern of the court will inevitably change greatly, and it is not suitable!" In addition, there are a few others, who are either not minors, or have incompatible qualifications! None of them are candidates who can take on big responsibilities! ”

"Could it be that the current empire can't find a satisfactory crown prince?" Fang Xu said with a smile, "I can't see it, your vision is quite high!" Children of the royal family, you can't even look down on any of them? ”

Yun Haoyu only felt a chill in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "There is another one, which completely meets the standards that the minister said!" It is Her Royal Highness the third princess Fang Yuqing! ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene cooled down sharply.

Fang Xu closed his eyes slightly, silent, unable to see joy or anger.

Yun Haoyu stared at his emperor with an innocent face, and said in his heart that you asked me to speak, and now I have said everything I can say, don't be annoyed and angry, just turn your face on the spot!

"In her body, she has half of the blood of the Bojiang clan!" After a long silence, Fang Xuling's voice sounded again.

He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "But she is also from His Majesty, and she also has His Majesty's bloodline in her body!" Moreover, in Yichen's opinion, bloodline is not a problem! It's the ability that counts! Her Royal Highness the princess's ability and military exploits are not to be said! More than capable of leading the empire! ”

"You say it simply! Those old guys don't think so! Fang Xu sighed, "At the beginning, in order to canonize her as a princess, a few old antiques in the royal family dared to play a hunger strike and protest trick with me!" What to say is that the royal blood is not to be confused! Hey! It's ridiculous! ”

"How come they don't understand the sinister situation that the empire will face in the coming decades? If an incompetent person really gets to the throne, the empire will become the second Gardley Federation! ”

Speaking of this, he leaned over slightly, stared at him and said, "If I really choose her!" The government and the opposition must be in turmoil, and even the most loyal courtiers may not agree with my decision! For the sake of overall stability, I also had to compromise! ”

Yun Haoyu stood up and replied solemnly: "No matter what others think, the minister will definitely support His Majesty's decision!" ”

Fang Xuling nodded lightly, and asked again, "I heard that those people have come to look for you?" ”

"Yes, but the ...... It's all pushed off! ”

"Fang Yanren, this kid still has the ability, but he likes to have fun, and his private life is a little inappropriate! If you hone it well, you can't make a difference! He said slowly, "You might as well walk around with him more and point at him!" ”

Is this a statement? Yun Haoyu had some doubts in his heart, and replied: "Yes, I will obey His Majesty's orders!" ”

"Alright, now let's talk about your errand arrangements!" Fang Xuling no longer dwelled on this topic, "Marshal Limassen is too seriously injured, and his ability has also declined significantly!" It's hard to get up to the position of Legion Director! Originally, there were two deputies, but unfortunately they were both killed in battle! I was able to bring you up smoothly! ”

"I'd love to give this to you, but you're still too young! If I do that, those old fellows will inevitably be nagging in my ears again! So, I would choose a member of the clan to take over the position, and of course, he would be in retreat all year round! You may not have much time to take care of things, so you should take on more responsibilities as a deputy! ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, that is, the title cannot be given to him, but this real power has fallen into his hands by a lot, and in the future, he will be the supreme commander of hundreds of special ability legions in the empire!

"Your Majesty's arrangement is reasonable, and the minister has no objection!" He replied gratefully.

"I've told you so much today, and there are some things that you just need to know in your heart, don't let them know! In short, you just need to do your part, no matter what kind of trouble, I will bear it for you! Fang Xuling finally said.

The two of them chatted for a while before Fang Xu signaled that he could step down.

Before leaving, Fang Xuling suddenly said: "If there is something and it is inconvenient to come to me, go to Fang Yuqing!" Besides me, the person you can trust the most is her! ”
