Seeing that his complexion was not good, Xunfeng didn't continue talking, but still looked at him worriedly.

"What will happen?" Shen Li raised his eyes and asked.

"Master, you don't need to worry too much. The position of crown prince has been vacant for so long, how can you say that he will be established immediately. Right now, you should protect your own body."

Xunfeng didn't answer, but turned the topic aside.

Shen Li frowned slightly, apparently not wanting to say any more, and waved at him, "Go down, I want to be alone for a while."

Xunfeng let out a sigh of relief, got up and left without saying anything.

Jin Zhao rarely went to court, and not long after he came back, people in the palace informed him to go to court.

Since the first battle in Ping Liang, he hadn't been to the hall where hundreds of people had a meeting, except for entering the court and getting a reward from the emperor himself.

Wearing a blue court dress specially sent by the palace servants before, he walked up to the hall.

For some reason, always felt that the eyes of those people were a little strange. When they looked at him, there was always a hint of probing.

Standing beside him, Cui Fengzhi seemed to feel his disgust and unnaturalness.

"You have to get used to this kind of scene. The court is no better than the barracks. You have a lot to learn..."

Jin Zhao responded in a low voice: "Father, I didn't intend to go to court, and I can be promoted to the rank of the military camp as well as meritorious service."

"As a courtier, no one will care about your wishes, only what you will bring to others."

Jin Zhao's face darkened, and he was silent for a while, and the two walked to the center of the hall.

The father and son, one red and one blue, headed towards their respective camps.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were divided into two camps, red for literature and blue for military.

Jin Zhao never thought that meeting that person again would be like this.

He stood a few rows in the middle of the military officer, while the man stood in the front of the civil servant, wearing a dark red straight-leg court dress, with dark patterns embroidered on the side of the court dress that were hardly noticeable, his black hair tied up with a purple jade golden crown, his waistWearing a black dark pattern belt, the slender figure is fully displayed.

His thin lips were pursed lightly, and there was no expression on his face, but from a distance, he could only feel that his eyes were dark and bottomless, with a cold temperament that strangers should not get close to, he seemed... changed a little bit compared to the last time we met, what has changed, Jin Zhao didn't see it for a while.

The emperor went to the palace, all civil and military officials paid homage, and one person caught Jin Zhao's attention.

He was wearing a python robe and stood in front with a calm expression.

There were several other people standing beside him, and there was no big difference in their attire.

But Jin Zhao was not face blind, he recognized the man at a glance, he was the son of the caravan he met on the way back to Beijing.

Immersed in his own thoughts, he didn't come back to his senses until the officer next to him bumped his arm.

"General Cui stepped forward to accept the seal."

He walked up in a daze, obviously feeling that many eyes were cast on him.

As soon as he raised his eyes, he met that person's gaze, and it was the same friendly smile that he showed when he was outside that day.

"Father, my son believes that General Cui is fully capable of running Xiaoqi Camp."

Only then did Jin Zhao hear the man's words, and the emperor slowly turned his gaze to Jin Zhao, with appreciation in his eyes.

"That being the case, General Cui will succeed General Qi and take over Xiaoqi Camp in the future."

Jin Zhao hadn't fully withdrawn from the bewilderment just now, when he heard the emperor say this, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the last general's ability is weak, and I'm afraid he won't be able to do it. Your Majesty, please take it back."

For his words, everyone present sighed. Xiaoqi Camp is one of the best iron-blooded troops in the capital city. It would be such an honor to be in charge of Xiaoqi Camp, but he refused without thinking about it.

"I don't think that my father, General Cui has made great contributions in the First Battle of Ping Liang, he is humble and obedient, brave and good at fighting. Now that General Qi's old illness has relapsed, and the incident happened suddenly, it is difficult to find someone who is more powerful than General Cui.A suitable candidate."
