"Then I would like to thank General Ji Ling. I hope General Ji Ling will give more guidance, eliminate bandit troubles, and share our worries and serve our Zhongguo!"

Yuan Yao was even more happy when he saw Ji Ling agreeing.

There are not many talents under Yuan Shu who can be very useful, almost all of them are third-rate generals. Even if they are not strong in their personal strength, they have no talent to command the army.

Only Ji Ling is barely considered a first-rate and second-rate general.

After all, Ji Ling has been able to fight Guan Yu for dozens of rounds in history, but has not been killed.

Logically speaking, Yuan Shu should value such a talent.

But Yuan Shu didn't have much ability to know people. Ji Ling came from a poor family. Although he had good personal strength, he did not have the support of the aristocratic families. Under Yuan Shu, he was never the core group of people.

In addition, two years ago, Yuan Shu ordered Ji Ling to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack Liu Bei who was stationed in Xuzhou.

Unfortunately, Lu Bu was interfered with it and used the strategy of shooting halberds at the gate to resolve the battle. Ji Ling was also shocked by Lu Bu's terrifying strength. He did not dare to act rashly for a while, so he could only return without success.

Yuan Shu finally reused Ji Ling once, but Ji Ling did not seize the opportunity. This made Ji Ling not have any chance to stand out under Yuan Shu in the past two years. Every time he was in the imperial court, Ji Ling was a person standing at the bottom.

It can be seen that his status in Yuan Shu's camp is so low.

Fortunately, with Yuan Yao, the wise master, he has a wise eye to recognize the pearl.

Ji Ling looked up at Yuan Yao and looked at Yuan Yao with gratitude.

Although Ji Ling didn't understand why Yuan Yao chose to go to Lujiang with the army, this was a contribution. As long as this matter was completed, Ji Ling would receive some rewards, and perhaps he could leave a better impression in front of Yuan Shu.

"Don't worry, my grandson will definitely live up to expectations and help you complete the important task of suppressing bandits!"

Ji Ling saluted Yuan Yao and retreated to the side.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao just smiled and did not continue to speak.

In this way, this brief court meeting came to an end.

After coming out of the court hall.

Yuan Yao was refreshed and in a good mood at this moment.

After coming to this world, his first step was completed.

As long as you can temporarily escape from Yuan Shu's control.

Give him enough time to develop his own power.

Although Yuan Shu only took two years to become emperor until his death, two years were enough for Yuan Yao to develop a piece of territory himself.

With his own territory, he can recruit troops and train soldiers. At that time, even if he cannot fight against Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, it will be completely fine.

After coming out of the court, Yan Xiang quickly came up.

It was even a little bit of surprise.

Yan Xiang had heard about what happened in the court just now. After learning that Yuan Yao took the initiative to retreat to the position of crown prince, he was also surprised, which was completely unexpected.

At the beginning, he felt a little regretful about Yuan Yao's actions.

But after thinking about it carefully, he smiled on his face, and even praised Yuan Yao's behavior repeatedly.

"Young Master, you are such a good method!"

"It's amazing to turn passive into initiative and cleverly resolve the crisis in front of you. Why didn't I realize that the young master was so mentally? It's really a mistake!"

Yan Xiang came to Yuan Yao and expressed his sincere admiration for Yuan Yao's behavior today.

Although Yan Xiang also regretted Yuan Yao's position as the crown prince, after realizing Yuan Shu's behavior, the position of the crown prince was not a good thing, but a hot potato.

Yuan Yao gave up the position of crown prince, which was able to temporarily maintain a good relationship with Zhang Xun and others, give himself some buffering time, and be able to escape from Yuan Shu's control and lead troops to leave Shouchun and go to Lujiang to develop his own power.

It can be said that he won multiple goals in one fell swoop. Yan Xiang was still worried about Yuan Yao at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Yuan Yao had already thought of a countermeasure.

Thinking back to the fact that when he asked Yuan Yao today, Yan Xiang realized how smart the young master he chose was.

Yuan Yao looked at Yan Xiang and praised him, but he was not proud, and just gave a humble answer.

"Your Madam Yan, you look down on me so much. I just don't want to argue with them. Since they want me to be the prince, you might as well give it to them and abdicate and give way to the wise. This will not only gain a good reputation but also gain some substantial benefits. Why not do it?"

"Well, the young master can think so, it proves that he really doesn't value the position of the prince."

"I admire the young master too. From today on, I want to follow the young master and wait for the young master's order to send you!"

With the initial exchange, Yan Xiang now attaches more and more importance to Yuan Yao, so he wants to express his opinion to Yuan Yao first.

However, in the face of Yan Xiang's request, Yuan Yao did not accept it immediately.

"Old Yan, I am really flattered to get your help, but I still hope that Old Yan can stay in Shouchun for the time being."

Yan Xiang was stunned and showed a look of doubt.

Yuan Yao quickly explained to Yan Xiang.

"One of the time, I am about to leave Shouchun and go to Lujiang. The road is long and I will wipe out the bandits. It may be dangerous. Old Yan is already in a high position. If I run around, it may not be easy."

"Secondly, I have no close friends in Shouchun, so I left Mr. Yan. If something happened in Shouchun, I would have a response. In this way, you and me can communicate with each other and make some preparations and prevention faster."

"Besides, I am no longer the prince now. If Mr. Yan is too close to me, it will definitely cause criticism on the surface. When I have my own territory and strength, it will not be too late for Mr. Yan to surrender to me again."

Yuan Yao wanted to keep Yan Xiang, but simply wanted him to help, staring at Yuan Shu and Shouchun.

When Yan Xiang heard Yuan Yao’s words, he nodded, understanding that Yuan Yao was considering him. It is indeed not a good time to follow Yuan Yao now.

He did not refuse and bowed.

"Young Master, I will follow your arrangements for everything."

"Young Master, don't worry, if you have anything to do in Shouchun, I will send a message."

With Yan Xiang's promise, Yuan Yao smiled and hurriedly thanked him.

"Then Yuan Yao will thank Mr. Yan first. When I settle down in Lujiang, I will send someone to pick up Mr. Yan!"

After saying that, Yuan Yao said goodbye to Yan Xiang first and planned to go back to his prince's mansion to pack up his things.

Now that he is no longer the prince, he should move out of the prince's mansion, and at the same time he is ready to set off, leave Shouchun and go to Lujiang.

Today, after the imperial parliament asked Yuan Yao to resign from the position of crown prince, the happiest person was Yuan Yao's third brother Yuan Jing.??
