”This …” Towards his own son, even though he was not by his side since young, Lan Qizhan, who had always been paying close attention to him, was still clear that this son of his was indeed very impatient, and did not even hesitate to cooperate with a bandit pirate for the sake of his position. If it wasn't for the fact that he only had this son of his, Lan Qizhan really did not plan to hand over his throne to him.

”Uncle Ye, I'll tell you the truth!” Lan Qizhan shook his head helplessly: ”The reason I placed Lott in the position of Deputy Minister of Military Affairs is because I want to train him so that he can learn more about military management from you and my crazy little brother. After all, an Empire's army is the basis of true safety. Secondly, he wanted the military as a large furnace to polish this child. This child's aura of being a popinjay was too heavy. His mind was filled with little tricks and he lacked the ability to truly be wise! Actually, I'm very worried that the Empire will be defeated by him in the future, but I … [There is nothing I can do. I only have a son. What can Uncle Ye do?]

”I don't have a way!” Ye Xiaozhang first shook his head, before changing the topic, ”But this plan can actually be used as a reference for Your Majesty!”

”Oh?” Lan Qizhan's eyes lit up. The old officials of the Empire, Wen Wu and Ye Xiaozhang were the Ye Xiaozhang and Emperor Master Frelot in front of him, their suggestions and strategies would definitely be useful as long as they could be said. Otherwise, the other party would not spout nonsense, ”Uncle Ye, quickly say it, I will do it!”

”First of all, His Majesty is in the prime of his life. The succession will not be a problem even if I have to wait for decades!” Ye Xiaozhang said: ”So, your majesty still has a lot of time to let Lotte slowly change. I presume that with your guidance and with Frelot's help, Lott will slowly mature as he grows older!”

”Secondly, after I and Kuang'er have stepped down, I suggest that you do not allow Lott to take over my position.” Secondly, after I and Kuang'er have stepped down, I suggest that you do not let Lott take over my position.

”We also have the same plan!” Lan Qizhan nodded his head and said: ”But, a nation cannot live without a ruler, and military matters cannot lack a chief. Since you have stepped down from your post, if Little Brother Kuang also leaves his post, I am truly worried …”

”Hehe, Your Majesty is overthinking it!” Ye Xiaozhang laughed: ”This trip, I have carefully considered. If nothing goes wrong, our losses during the war will not be too big. Fei said that his Mysterious Mechanism Camp, as a mobile unit, can definitely restrain the enemy within a certain range. Therefore, His Majesty can let Lott become the commander in chief of this expedition. With the help of a lot of generals, I am sure there won't be any danger.

After hearing what Ye Xiaozhang had said, even the emperor couldn't help but blush slightly. His own son's military merits had long been seen through by the others!

”As for the position of Secretary of State!” Ye Xiaozhang seemed to not have noticed Lan Qizhan's uneasiness: ”This old official proposed that Old Frelot could come out and do some activities, after all he has real talent and he is the Military Secretary who is mainly responsible for the administration and planning, and it is not really about going up to command and kill the enemy, but it is more than enough with Frelot's means. Last time, this old fellow borrowed Fei's excuse to end the marriage and removed his position as Prime Minister, and he was very carefree for a period of time, so he should be tired a bit now!”

”Teacher?” Lan Qizhan's eyes lit up: Not bad, Uncle Ye's plan is really not bad. Back then, many of my military capabilities were taught to me by my teacher. The position of the Military Secretary can definitely be handled very well by my teacher! However, I am still worried about having Lott as the commander-in-chief, since he is too young, let alone others, even the high-ranking officers would not be convinced. Without your suppression, Uncle Ye, those high-ranking officers would not even be able to stand a chance, and if Bro Kuang acts as the commander-in-chief, I think they would be more convinced! ”
