The next day, when the prime minister and his men went to court, they were surprised to see Su Jiu had returned. The prime minister came over and asked, "Su Jiu, why did you come back? Has the war over there subsided?"
"Yes, the emperor will tell you the details during the morning court session."
Some people who don't like Su Jiu's brothers muttered when they saw Su Jiu coming back: "Some of them, didn't they escape back?"
Su Jiu turned to look at the person who was speaking, and the other person also looked over: "Did I say something wrong?"
"When the two countries were at war, Lord Su came back from the battlefield. Could it be that he was relying on the emperor's favor?"
Su Jiu didn't say much to the other party, which made him feel guilty in the other party's eyes: "Lord Su is unwilling to speak, is it because he feels guilty?"
"Do you dare to say these when Xiaoyu is here?" Su Jiu looked at the other party coldly.

"Su Jiu you..."
"Although Xiaoyu is not in Xuan Country, I want his subordinates to help me find some information, and it can still be done."
"The three-year period is almost up, and the people sent out should come back, and a new imperial examination is about to begin. Tell me... how long can you stay in this position?" Su Jiu looked at the other party coldly and asked unceremoniously.
The person who spoke was stunned. He didn't expect Su Jiu to say such a thing.
"If you think that if I don't say anything, you can treat me as a soft persimmon and take advantage of me, then you are very wrong."
"This general has told the emperor the specific circumstances and he will tell you when he arrives. I'm just afraid you won't be able to bear it by then." Xiaoyu's identity already makes them wary. After the emperor gives Xiaoyu her fiefdom, these people's fear will probably only deepen.
This is something they dare not even think about.
"Su Jiu, you are just relying on your brother being a prince to act like this. You are just being arrogant because of your brother's favor. People like you are not worthy of being a general."
When the people around heard what this man said, they all wondered if he was crazy.
Don’t you know that the people the emperor trusts the most are Su Jiu and the other two

And what Su Jiu said was also true. The imperial examination was indeed about to begin again. Once it started, there would inevitably be a major reshuffle in the court, and some people who were just waiting to die would definitely be replaced directly.
"Su Yu is just relying on his status as a prince to amass wealth like crazy. Do you think I don't know what he wants to do?"
"Then tell me what my brother wants to do?" Su Jiu looked at Lord Liu coldly and asked in a deep voice.
He was also very curious about what Xiaoyu's purpose was in this man's eyes.
"Su Yu's goal is to make his own power greater than the emperor, and eventually replace the emperor."
Everyone who heard this thought he was crazy.
"Sir Liu, I will tell Xiaoyu everything you said when he comes back. By then, I hope you can still be so fearless." Su Jiu looked at him and spoke directly.
This one sentence made Lord Liu look as if someone was strangling him, and his face looked terribly ugly.
"Su Jiu, you..." Lord Liu dared to say these words in front of Su Jiu but did not dare to speak to Su Yu like this.

If he spoke to Su Yu like this, he would be the only one who would suffer. He would not do such a thing as digging his own grave.
He had seen Su Yu's methods before.
"It seems that Lord Liu still knows who Xiaoyu is."
"The emperor has arrived." When Lord Liu was about to say something to make amends, Lai Fu's voice came.
After the morning court session began, Xuan Feiran announced that the three princes of Lu had handed over the imperial seal to Xuan State, and that Lu was now part of Xuan State's territory.
Everyone was excited when they saw the Lu State's jade seal.
"Xiao Yu is still distributing grain and seeds to the people in Lu State. These were taken out by Xiao Yu herself." Xuan Feiran said while looking at everyone.
"The Jade King is so powerful."
“It’s really amazing.”

At this time, someone from the Censorate suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Everyone knows this person, he is Mo Zhen from the Censorate. This person either keeps silent or, when he speaks, he can kill people and destroy their hearts.
"allow."
"I want to impeach Liu Huang, Lord Liu."
Lord Liu looked at Mo Zhen with a sullen expression: "Lord Mo, what do you mean by this?"
"You want to impeach him?" Xuan Feiran frowned. What happened that he didn't know about
"Your Majesty, before Your Majesty arrived, Lord Liu saw General Su coming back and said that General Su was a deserter. He also said that General Su relied on Your Majesty and the prince to do whatever he wanted. In addition, Lord Liu also slandered the meritorious Prince Jade, saying that His Majesty relied on the favor of Your Majesty and the convenience of the prince to make a lot of money in order to replace Your Majesty." Mo Zhen said directly without looking at Liu Huang.
Xuan Feiran was furious when he heard these words: "Is this true?"
"Your Majesty, what Lord Mo said is true."
"Liu Huang, what do you think of my approach?" Xuan Feiran looked at Liu Huang and asked with cold eyes.

"I dare not."
"Don't dare? I think you dare very much. It was I who asked Xiaoyu to do business to make money. Now that Xiaoyu has made money from half of his business, half of the money will be put into the national treasury. For the rest of the money, he will prepare food and herbs for all the soldiers across the country, and he is even willing to take out military pay. Su Jiu, tell him how much money Xiaoyu spent on the soldiers last year." Xuan Feiran said coldly.
"Fifteen million taels. The food in the barracks now is steamed buns, dumplings, and porridge for breakfast. The dumplings are all made of meat. There are four dishes at noon and night, two of which are meat, one soup, and one vegetable. Xiaoyu said that only by making sure everyone is well fed can they train better. In addition to the first battle, the war horses were all bought by Xiaoyu. Some of the materials needed by the Ministry of Industry were also bought from others at high prices by Xiaoyu."
"In addition, Xiaoyu raised the soldiers' salaries by two taels of silver out of his own pocket. He never let anyone know that he did this, and he did it all in the name of the emperor. Xiaoyu does make a lot of money, but he spends even more on the army and other things. He can only keep 30% of his profits every year. Sir Liu, do you have any comments?"
Su Jiu’s words shocked everyone.
Apart from Xuan Feiran, only the Su Jiu brothers knew about this.
Even the prime minister didn't know these things.
"Everyone may betray me, except the brothers Su Yu and Su Jiu. They have done much more for me than you think."
"Since you are talking about Xiaoyu, then I also have something to tell you. From today on, Su Yu will be canonized as the prince's imperial tutor. In addition, the original land of Lu will be canonized as Su Yu's fiefdom." Xuan Feiran said.
Xuan Feiran's words caused an uproar among the court officials. The reward of being the crown prince's tutor, as well as the original fiefdom of the State of Lu, was too great.
