Chapter 300: War of Words

"So, I want to ask you today, what is the reason for his defection? Did I treat him badly? He holds tremendous power in the court. Nearly 30% of you have surrendered to him. I have always known it. , but there are no checks and balances, the purpose is to allow him to do his best, but this is how he rewards me? "

The emperor's voice was eloquent when he spoke.

Like a torrent, it hits.

All the civil and military officials kept their mouths shut.

The body trembled and shivered.

But they all knew in their hearts that His Majesty's anger was deliberately directed at them.

However, anyone who dares to offend His Majesty at this time will be in serious trouble.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Eunuch Hou lowered his voice and said.

"I am not angry."

The emperor smiled coldly and glanced across the field with strong confidence, "The land of three mountains and five ridges is just hanging on for a while. Yesterday's battle for the Qianlong List shows it all! I heard that Ye Chen also went to court today?"

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Ye Chen stepped out of the queue and cupped his hands.

"Okay, very good. You are young and promising, and you have not embarrassed our Xiaoyue Dynasty."

A flash of admiration flashed in the emperor's eyes.

In fact, Ye Chen had already fallen into the emperor's eyes from the time he first showed his prowess. At that time, he had been sending people to pay attention to Ye Chen's growth and development in private.

After all, as the emperor of the Xiaoyue Dynasty, a powerful being, he would never tolerate such a talented person being recruited by hostile forces.

Ye Chen's surname is Ye, which is a branch of the Ye family.

So the emperor would inevitably be a little worried.

However, everything that followed made him completely relieved.

Let’s not talk about whether Ye Chen is ambitious or not. Looking at the front and back, this kid is really a troublemaker!

As early as when he was in the Land of Hundred Kingdoms, he had offended the God of War Palace.

Later, because of his father Ye Tianxiao, he and the Ye family could be said to have fought to the death.

Although he was born in the Ye family, he never thought about returning.

There were three major forces in the Xiaoyue Dynasty, two of whom were offended by Ye Chen.

Outside the Xiaoyue Dynasty, he caused a bloody disaster in the land of three mountains and five ridges, and personally slaughtered more than a hundred geniuses of the same age. Regardless of the Shenwu Sect, Lingyun Sect or other forces, they all hated him with itch.

In this way, even if Ye Chen can't be used by himself, at least he doesn't have to worry that he will join the enemy.

In addition, this kid Ye Chen has some affinity with Lao Qi.

Therefore, he will never grow into a threat.

"These are my duties."

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "But here, I have a merciless request. Yesterday, the Chief Assistant defected to the Three Mountains and Five Ridges. In order to show the style of a great nation, our Xiaoyue Dynasty naturally has to let someone take charge of this position again, so as to inform the world that I The Xiaoyue Dynasty is full of talents! I have a recommended candidate here!”

So fast!

After hearing this, all the officials were shocked.

I thought Ye Chen would beat around the bush and finally change the subject.

Unexpectedly, he didn't bother to cover up at all, and came straight to the point.

That's right, he is number one on the Hidden Dragon List and has a bright future.

You can't use your pettiness to rashly speculate on him.

Maybe their thoughts are not in Beizhou at all?

"Oh? Then tell me, who do you want to recommend?"

The emperor looked at Ye Chen with bright eyes.

The more I watch, the more I like it.

If such a talented person can be used by me, why worry about the unification of Beizhou?

At a young age, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, have a calm mind, and do not be moved by any external things.

Putting aside everything else, it is difficult for many people to have this kind of mentality after practicing for a lifetime.

It can be seen that Ye Chen has experienced ups and downs to become the person you are today.

"I think Mr. Zuo is very suitable."

Ye Chen raised his head and his eyes fell on Zuo Xiang's face, with a hint of ridicule.

After all, this should be the first time he and the Left Prime Minister met.

But there is a feeling of meeting old acquaintances.

In fact, during this period of time, I was constantly dealing with the left prime minister.

The first is Zuo Zhuo. He rushes to the Land of Hundred Kingdoms, wanting to kill himself in the ring and eliminate his father's serious troubles in advance.

So, he died.

Followed by Zuo Yue, because of the dispute between Kendo Academy and Benliu Academy, he came to Liufeng City with full confidence and wanted to severely suppress the genius of Benliu Academy, but he also died.

There are three sons in Zuo Xiang's family, and only the eldest son Zuo Ao is left, the hussar general of Xiaoyue Dynasty.

He stayed on the last Qianlong list for three years, second only to Yuan Ye.

Now, he holds great power and sits at the border.

It can be said that Ye Chen has fought many times against the forces under Zuo Xiang.

So when I saw him, I didn't feel too strange.

Zuo Xiang's expression was very cold. Of course he could guess what Ye Chen was thinking.

Do you sincerely want to recommend yourself?

Nonsense!

Ye Chen was not stupid, how could he put himself in the position of first assistant?

Presumably, he must have something else waiting for him next.

"Oh? Don't you have a close relationship with Prime Minister Wei? Why would you recommend Prime Minister Zuo?"

The emperor asked with interest.

"I have two major reasons. First, the Zuo Xiang is a student and confidant of the Chief Assistant. His relationship with the Chief Assistant is much closer than that of Mr. Wei. After years of influence, he will definitely be able to perfectly replace the Chief Assistant. The vacancy left.”

"Secondly, the Prime Minister defected, but he was replaced by his closest student, which also demonstrated the great power style of our Xiaoyue Dynasty to the entire Beizhou. It is a broad mind and courage to promote talents without avoiding enemies?"

Ye Chen spoke eloquently, and his words were very leisurely.

All the dignitaries and civil and military officials in the audience showed an expression of "as expected".

This kid Ye Chen has something to say!

It seems that the two reasons are both recommending the left prime minister and praising him for his qualifications.

But in fact, there are hidden arrows.

Remind everyone again and again that the left prime minister has a close relationship with the Prime Minister.

Under such circumstances, who dares to believe him?

What if the left prime minister is a hidden chess piece left by the Prime Minister, and let him succeed to the throne, wouldn't it be a loss for the adults?

This step, Ye Chen made a brilliant move!

A knife stabbed out, fierce and fast, without giving others a chance to fight back.

It's simply more cruel than those dignitaries who have been immersed in officialdom for many years!

The emperor's mouth was drawn up with a smile.

He really liked Ye Chen more and more.

"Lord Zuo, Ye Chen recommended you to succeed the throne. Let me hear what you want to say?"

The emperor's eyes fell on the left prime minister.

The left prime minister bowed and said calmly, "Ning Heng betrayed my Xiaoyue Dynasty, and the relationship between master and apprentice should be severed. I have a sense of justice in my heart, so I can naturally distinguish right from wrong. But your majesty, you should be careful of some people's slander. I heard that in the dispute over the Hidden Dragon List, Ning Heng repeatedly spoke up to excuse Ye Chen, and later invited him into the room to discuss matters."
