Ye Xuansheng retired and returned home, which surprised everyone present.

You know, Ye Xuansheng is the existence of King Xuan. Although he is only the Xuan of King Xuan, his life span is much longer than that of ordinary people. Isn’t it a joke to retire and return home now? After all, it is seventy-year-old to others, but for Ye Xuansheng, at most people are middle-aged.

As Ye Xuansheng said this, the entire square became silent, with only the sound of the rappelling fires from the surrounding bonfires.

"Duke Zhenguo, why should I retire and return home? You must know that Duke is the pillar of Xuanxi Kingdom, how can I leave me?" Nangong An finally came to his senses after being stunned for a while.

"Your Majesty, this is not my intentional behavior, but my granddaughter's cultivation is getting more and more progressive and has the intention to go to Changlong Mountain. I have longed for the days when I was idle and Yehe. Before, it was mostly because of the comfort of Xuanxi Kingdom. Your Majesty was young, and now Your Majesty has grown up. Moreover, Xuanxi Kingdom has also become what the Prime Minister of Tang said, "The country is peaceful and the people are safe. Since this is the case, it is time for the old minister to retire. In addition, the eldest son is upright, and only Ye Wei is one woman, and his cultivation has reached the realm of Jiuxuan Xuanzun. After Zi Yao went to Changlong Mountain a few days ago, he also brought back a message, hoping that Your Majesty would choose a general to take over his position!" Ye Xuansheng said from the heart.

If Duke Zhenguo was just alone and wanted to retreat to the mountains and forests, it was very likely that it was just a test of the emperor. But now the company's eldest son is willing to hand over the military power. It would be obvious that it would be too much to say whether it was a test. Did Duke Zhenguo see that His Majesty had some taboos on him, so he simply chose to hand over the power and withdraw from the core of Xuanxi Kingdom?

Although no sound was heard for a moment, everyone present looked at each other, and many people were communicating with their eyes.

"Duke Zhenguo, why not discuss this matter again?" Nangong An was still a little embarrassed to eat and drink.

"Your Majesty, you are already at the critical moment. This is the best time to break through the Xuan King. Please choose a general to replace him first. In the future, their father and daughter can also be in Changlong Mountain!" Ye Xuansheng asked again.

Seeing that Ye Xuansheng was still like this, Nangong An knew that Ye Xuansheng was really planning to retreat, and he was in a good mood. He looked at Ye Xuansheng and said, "Since that is the case, if I don't agree, I will harm General Ye. Then do you think that general can guard Xilong Pass for me?"

"Your Majesty, I recommend General Che, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army. Since the establishment of the new Imperial Army, General Che has made great contributions to training the Imperial Army into an iron army. Before this, General Che made great contributions to the extermination of King Zhong's rebellion. It is the most suitable for General Che to go." Bai Feng, the father of Concubine Jin, stood up and recommended.

"Your Majesty, I don't think so!"

"Oh, does Prime Minister Tang have a better candidate?" Nangong An was a little surprised, because the Tang family and the Bai family have been getting closer in recent years, and it was really surprising that they actually opposed it at this time.

"General Che is indeed a talented man, but although he is the deputy commander of the imperial guards, he is actually the soul of the imperial guards and cannot be easily transferred. The old minister thinks that King Ding can take on the great responsibility!"

King Ding is the descendant of King Yong. In name, he is Nangong An’s uncle. In fact, he is his brother. King Ding is indeed the most talented among all the royal families. He is also peaceful. However, he is also a person who has more than enough achievements and lacks in development. However, he can only guard Xilong Pass.

When Nangong An saw that the Tang Prime Minister recommended King Ding, he immediately understood the intention of the old prime minister. Once the Ye family left, if Concubine Jin was appointed as the queen, the Bai family would rise. The wife of General Che was Bai Feng's eldest daughter and Concubine Jin's sister. If she was in the capital, it would be fine if she was a rank of officials with military power, then there would be some problems.

Nangong An was also quite moved when he saw the old prime minister with gray hair, but he did not immediately express it, but instead looked at the others.

Finally, he looked at Ye Xuansheng and asked with a smile: "Duke Zhenguo, who do you think is more suitable?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is inconvenient to answer the question of replacing my eldest son. Your Majesty is wise, your Majesty can be the master!" Ye Xuansheng said with a smile.

Nangong An felt more at ease when he heard this, but he knew that the old fox didn't want to express his opinion, and he did not think about it at this time, so he said, "Since that's the case, then we will discuss it at the court meeting. Today is my birthday, so I won't talk about it. Duke Zhenguo, if you want to retire and return home, you can't leave at my birthday party. Let's discuss it again when the court meeting!"

"Old minister obeys the order!" Ye Xuansheng knew that his concessions finally made the emperor satisfied.

"Today is Your Majesty's birthday. Your Majesty has worked hard for many years and should have a day off. The old minister congratulates Your Majesty and is also grateful for the wise ruler of Xuanxi Country!" Seeing that the matter was over, someone immediately stood up and patted him.

Nangong An couldn't help laughing when he saw this. At this moment, he was in a very good mood. He picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "Everyone, are I a wise lord? Of course, there are comments from later generations. However, now that Xuanxi Kingdom can become stronger, I am definitely not alone. You are all meritorious ministers. Come and have a drink together!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Hearing this, all the ministers raised their glasses and drank together.

After drinking this glass of wine, Nangong An sat back on his dragon throne and said slowly: "In the past month, the capital has been discussing the matter of establishing the queen and establishing the prince. Although I am young, I really don't want the father who was harmed by a traitor because he did not establish a prince, which caused the country to turmoil. Now the two oldest children are six years old. Guang'er is smart and Kang'er is steady. If he gets one son to be the crown prince, it will be perfect, but he has two sons. After repeated consideration, I decided... to decide..."

Just as Nangong An was about to say his name, he suddenly covered his abdomen and his face turned pale.

"Not good!" At this moment, Nangong Xi jumped directly to his side. At the same time, another man wearing a copper mask also appeared beside Nangong An.

"There is poisonous in the wine!" Nangong Xi looked at Nangong An, then picked up the wine glass and smelled it and shouted.

Hearing this, all the ministers exclaimed. Obviously no one would have thought that on the birthday of this seemingly wise emperor, someone actually poisoned the emperor.

"No one else was poisoned. There was no problem with the wine itself. The cup was poisonous. Who poured the wine for His Majesty just now?" The man in the copper mask looked at the people around him and immediately asked.

As he asked, the eyes of several people around him turned to the panic-looking Concubine Xian.
