Wang Zhicheng, who was so impressed with his admiration, was reluctant to give up.
But it is also clear that Su Ye's real world does not lie in a city.
But it lies in the real Kyushu.
Wang Zhicheng looked reluctantly, but still said firmly:
"Prime Minister Su, please rest assured. I will definitely uphold your teachings, train this army to be even better, and guard the northern gate of Yan State to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of it!"
Su Ye smiled slightly, full of confidence in Wang Zhicheng's loyalty and talent.
He bid farewell to Wang Zhicheng and left Beimen Pass with his loyalty and mission to Yan State.
Su Ye's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
Just a few miles outside the city gate, Su Ye suddenly heard thunderous shouts from behind.
"Congratulations General Su!"
"Congratulations General Su!"
…
Wang Zhicheng looked at Su Ye's leaving figure and couldn't help but whisper:
"I respectfully send you off to General Su."
…
Yan State, capital.
Su Ye, who returned in triumph, was treated with the highest courtesy.
Su Ye is riding a horse, wearing flowing white clothes, and has a heroic appearance.
Stepped into the gate of the capital of Yan Kingdom.
The long sword in his hand seemed to still be shining with the light of victory.
Today's capital city is prosperous, full of bustling scenes, and laughter permeates the entire city.
The people cheered and crowded on both sides of the road, eagerly welcoming their hero's return.
"Look, that's Prime Minister Su! He's back! He has brought victory to our Yan country!"
"Prime Minister Su is indeed very magnanimous and invincible. With such a talent in the Yan Dynasty, there is no need to worry about not being strong!"
Amid the cheers, Su Ye had a calm smile on his face.
In the middle of the city gate, the empress Yan Lichu personally led all the courtiers, waiting for Su Ye's arrival.
Yan Lichu was dressed in a dragon robe, with a solemn demeanor, and his joy was beyond words.
She watched Su Ye getting closer and closer, her eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.
Su Ye arrived in front of Yan Lichu, got off his horse, and solemnly saluted Yan Lichu:
"Your Majesty, Su Ye, pays homage to your Majesty."
Yan Lichu personally helped Su Ye up and said with a smile:
"Prime Minister Su, you fought bloody battles for the Yan Kingdom and made outstanding military exploits many times. I hereby announce that you will be crowned the 'King of Side by Side!'" As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more jubilant.
The "Yi Zi Bing Jian Wang" is a Yi Zi King who is on par with the emperor, and is the highest rank among the kings of Yan.
This award from Yan Lichu undoubtedly demonstrates her immense trust and high praise for Su Ye.
Su Ye still looked calm and composed:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Yan Lichu turned around and personally invited Su Yedeng to take the phoenix chariot and return to the palace together.
The car curtain slowly fell, blocking out the noise from the outside world.
In the carriage, Yan Lichu looked at Su Ye with concern.
After several days of fighting, he lost a lot of weight.
However, the firmness and calmness in his eyes made him look even more handsome.
Yan Lichu's eyes were full of endless tenderness.
At this moment, she seemed to be no longer a monarch who ruled a country, but a woman who cared about her loved ones.
She suppressed the tumbling emotions in her heart, held Su Ye's hands, and whispered:
"Su Ye, thank you for your hard work."
However, Su Ye calmly withdrew his hand and said calmly:
"Serving His Majesty and the country is my duty, not to mention hard work."
Yan Lichu's eyes looked slightly disappointed, but he soon regained his composure.
After that, there was no more words in the carriage.
The two returned to the palace together.
In the palace, His Majesty Yan Lichu personally planned a grand celebration banquet for Su Ye.
The banquet was in a warm atmosphere, with singing, dancing, fine wine and delicious food.
Courtiers, nobles, and relatives of the emperor came to congratulate him one after another.
Su Ye was wearing the white armor gifted by His Majesty, and looked full of energy.
Facing all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, he looked calm and calm.
His heroic deeds and outstanding contributions to the State of Yan made everyone present respect him in awe.
The young prime minister won unanimous praise from everyone in the court with his wisdom and bravery.
The atmosphere of the celebration banquet became more and more exciting, and everyone toasted to Su Ye to express their respect and admiration for him.
Su Ye took the wine glasses one by one, responded politely with a smile.
However, his eyes always remained indifferent and calm.
It was as if all the honors and praises could not shake his inner determination.
His Majesty Yan Lichu looked at Su Ye and admired his stability and humility more and more.
As if he had made up his mind, His Majesty Yan Lichu personally instructed Su Ye to sit beside him:
"From today on, Prime Minister Su can sit next to me when he goes to court. When all the officials meet Prime Minister Su, it will be as if I are here in person!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
In the hundreds of years of history of Yan State, such an exception is really rare!
This move goes against the general rules and is obviously intended to make Su Ye become the second king of the Yan Kingdom!
Yan Lichu had always been calm and rigorous, why did he subvert his ancestor's rules so easily this time?
The originally bustling banquet hall suddenly fell into silence.
The ministers exchanged shocked looks and turned their attention to Su Ye.
My heart was filled with awe, envy, and confusion.
However, Su Ye remained calm and composed.
Faced with such profound favor, he still adhered to his principles and humbly refused:
"Your Majesty, this move is excessive. I'm afraid it will arouse criticism from the government and the public. I only need to be loyal to your Majesty and the country and perform my duties. There is no need for other false claims. Please take back my order."
As soon as the words came out, everyone around him seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Dingguo Gong Yan Aoxiang looked serious and objected through gritted teeth:
"Your Majesty, according to etiquette, although Su Ye has outstanding military exploits, it is not appropriate to sit at the same table as your Majesty. This may be against tradition, and your Majesty is aware of this."
Other officials echoed the sentiment.
For a time, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became increasingly tense.
However, Yan Lichu had made up his mind.
With a sharp look in his eyes, he glanced at Yan Aoxiang and responded coldly:
"Dong Guo, Su Ye has fought bloody battles for our Yan country many times, and has made great military achievements. Such a talented person is really rare. I am willing to sit side by side with him. What's wrong with that?"
Yan Aoxiang was startled and immediately speechless.
Yan Lichu continued:
"Su Ye is the treasure of our Yan country. I am willing to give him a higher honor in recognition of his great achievements. If anyone dares to criticize again, he will be severely punished!"
The words were so powerful that no one dared to speak nonsense.
When Yan Lichu saw this, he turned to Su Ye and said:
"Prime Minister Su, there is no need to be overly humble. Your talent and military exploits are more than worthy of this position. You are a hero of the Yan Kingdom, and I hope you will accept this honor."
A ripple flashed in Su Ye's eyes, looking at Yan Lichu's firm eyes, he finally nodded:
"I will obey the Holy Orders."
At this point, Yan Li smiled for the first time.
No one dared to object anymore.
After the morning dynasty, Duke Dingguo Yan Aoxiang returned to his mansion with a gloomy look on his face.
Today's events are far beyond his control.
"Father, this son Su Ye has made great achievements in battle, and now he is so highly valued by His Majesty. This may be the biggest obstacle to our future plans."
Yan Aoxiang's eldest son, Yan Zidan said worriedly.
Yan Aoxiang deeply agreed, nodded and said:
"We must get rid of him as soon as possible!"
The two looked at each other with a sinister look in their eyes.
…
The border of Yan State.
A farmer was loosening the soil in the field when he suddenly dug out a huge boulder.
Just as he was about to move the boulder, he suddenly saw six words engraved on it.
When he saw those six words clearly, he was startled, and then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
I saw six words engraved on the huge stone——
If you are unruly, the country will be in chaos!
