A solemn look flashed across Old General Fang's face, and he spoke without hesitation: "Where is the war again? The old general is willing to ask for a fight, please allow your highness!"

King An stood up from the dragon chair with a smile, helped him up personally and said, "The old general has misunderstood. The Tianfeng Kingdom is very powerful now. Who dares to cause trouble at will? I am not asking you to lead troops on an expedition when I call you here. But I want you to take up the post of Minister of War, are you willing?"

As soon as these words came out, General Fang was shocked all over.

His brilliant eyes quickly looked towards the Regent Xiao Sheng, his face full of confusion.

He nodded and said, "What do you think, old general?"

General Fang immediately replied: "Veteran General is willing to continue to exert his remaining enthusiasm for our government, even if it exhausts all his efforts, he will be happy to do so!"

King An reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with emotion: "Old General, it stands to reason that you have led troops to fight all year round, and you should take care of yourself now. But now the court is employing people, and before the Minister of War has no suitable candidates, you should It’s up to you to do it for me. I am grateful to you on behalf of my father, the courtiers, and all the people!”

Old General Fang quickly knelt on the ground: "The last general will be lucky enough to live up to his command!"

King An immediately announced: "Here comes a decree!"

All this happened so fast that King Huainan was caught off guard.

By the time he reacted, King An had already announced his will.

He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, wait a minute. Although General Fang is in good health, his age is such that if something unexpected happens, wouldn't the Ministry of War be left without a master?"

Old General Fang frowned and said: "King Huainan's worry is not unreasonable. You are also a military commander and you are in your prime. Why don't you compete with me to see who is stronger? If you win, I will immediately Go back and prepare a dowry for my You'er!"

The King of Huainan has this intention. No matter what, he must not let General Fang get involved in the position of Minister of War.

Otherwise, he will fall into passivity.

He bowed quickly: "Then I, the king, might as well obey your orders!"

A glint flashed in Old General Fang's eyes, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

He moved his wrist and ordered someone to move the table quickly.

King Huainan frowned and raised his hands to General Fang: "I'm sorry!"

The two hands were clasped together, and they pressed in opposite directions with all their strength.

The originally handsome face of King Huainan had veins all over it, which showed that he had exhausted all his strength.

However, General Fang was extremely calm. He even had a kind smile on his face and was not nervous at all.

The two were equally strong, and after about a stick of incense had passed, they were still at a deadlock.

A chill flashed across King Huainan's eyes. According to this situation, he actually lost. After all, he was better because of his youth.

He couldn't delay it any longer, he had to make a quick decision.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth hard.

Just at this time, someone whispered behind him: "Look, King Huainan looks like he is using up all his energy to feed himself?"

The man quickly yelled: "Shut up!"

King Huainan was obviously greatly affected emotionally after hearing those words.

Malice flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly pressed hard on Old General Fang's wrist.

Such pressure can easily cause fractures.

However, the King of Huainan had no regard for winning.

Old General Fang smiled confidently, and suddenly raised his breath and exerted force. With a bang, he directly suppressed King Huainan's wrist.

"Are you admitting defeat?" The voice without any breath made King Huainan confused for a moment.

Is that human being?

How could he still have so much strength at such an old age?

What kind of medicinal food did Lin Ruoyou give him?It works so well?

He really wanted to say that this time it didn't count and that he would have to compete again!

However, when he opened his mouth, there was a violent cough.

Doctor Feng quickly stepped forward to support him and said, "Your Majesty, your strength has been exhausted. Take a rest!"

King Huainan felt extremely humiliated at this moment. As a military general in his prime, he lost to an old man who was about fifty years old.

He is not willing!

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that he lost without any suspense.

King An spoke quickly: "The old general's demeanor has not diminished, and he must be the Minister of the Ministry of War!"

After the imperial edict was promulgated, the whole court was in an uproar.

Especially Zhu Qian was so angry that he almost smashed the entire Zhu family to pieces. He never imagined that not only did he not get any benefit from the banquet, he even gave up the position of Minister of War to Mr. Fang. General!

Zhu Shangshu huddled in the corner and trembled. He begged in a trembling voice: "Maybe there is a way to save it, don't get so angry!"

Zhu Qian rushed in front of him, grabbed his throat with one arm and lifted him up with fierce eyes.

He gritted his teeth and said: "The imperial edict has been issued, how can we reverse it? You can't even keep the position of minister, so what use do you have? What use is it?"

A strong sense of suffocation came over, instantly turning Zhu Shangshu's entire face into a purple color.

He opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe, but he couldn't.

Just when he felt death coming, the door was pushed open from outside.

Zhu Dieyi, whose face was full of panic, begged loudly: "Second brother, please let go of dad. He is about to be strangled to death by you. Please let him go!"

Zhu Qian's blood-red eyes blinked, and the strength in his arms was instantly relieved.

Zhu Shangshu fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Zhu Dieyi threw herself in front of him, stretched out her hand to help him up: "Dad, how are you? Do you want the doctor to come over and take a look at you?"

Zhu Shangshu shook his head: "No, I'm fine!"

Zhu Qian spoke sarcastically: "Zhu Dieyi, if it weren't for your incident, he wouldn't have lost his position as minister. If you really care about him, go and beg King An to take back his life!"

Zhu Dieyi bit her lip with difficulty, and murmured with an uneasy expression: "How can Prince An listen to what I say? Second brother, stop joking!"

Zhu Shangshu grabbed her wrist tightly: "Die Yi, your second brother is right. I beg you, please go to King An to take back your life. I can never lose my position as Shangshu!"

Zhu Dieyi cried and shook her head; "No, I can't do it. I'm sorry, dad, don't force me!"

After saying that, she cried and ran out.

Zhu Qian ordered someone to stop her and said coldly: "Since you don't want to go to King An, then you can only let me die to protest this unfair imperial edict!"

Seeing Zhu Shangshu reaching out and stabbing her neck with a sharp dagger, she was so frightened that she screamed: "Dad, you can't die!"

Zhu Shang's face was instantly filled with hope: "Then will you go and seek help from King An?"

Zhu Dieyi nodded with difficulty: "Okay, I'll go and beg!"

As night fell, a carriage quietly entered the palace.

King An was handling the memorial in the imperial study. Perhaps because his decision pleased the emperor's uncle, he deliberately did not supervise him today.

The young chamberlain hurried in and reported respectfully: "Your Highness, Miss Zhu San wants to see you!"
