King's Landing Second Element

"You rubbish, at that time, you were ordered to go to the south and you couldn't escape one by one. In the end, only General Ye issued a military order, and with only one hundred thousand troops, ten times as many rebels were wiped out. Who of you here can do it? !? Who of you here dares to make a military order!? Now that General Ye returns triumphantly, you all jump out one by one and say, do you have the right to speak?"

Sweeped by the minister's viper-like sight, all civil servants and generals flinched.

Because there was no reason to refute what he said, but people here didn't dare to refute him, it doesn't mean that the entire empire didn't exist. At this moment, a muffled, majestic voice sounded outside the hall.

"They have no rights, what about me? Ornest."

A terrifying coercion enveloped the entire hall, and a burly figure dressed in armor stepped into the inner hall. His eyes looked like a lion, and his tall body was like a large mountain. The civic generals in the hall were full of blood, almost vomiting blood.

"You finally came, Budd, I thought you would stay silent forever."

Minister Ornest was not afraid, and sneered at the coming.

"Some people have troubled the Chaogang. Although I have never asked about politics, I have to come forward for the sake of the empire and your majesty."

General Bud's eyes were like electricity, and his exit was a questioning, showing no mercy to the minister.

"Really? But we are talking about the canonization of General Ye, why? Are you planning to jump out to stop it?"

"General Ye is an easy talent, how could I refuse. However, the rules of the empire for thousands of years cannot be broken. There is always only one head of civil servants. Therefore, the premise for General Ye to be promoted is that I abdicate. However, I have the conditions."

Chapter 0260

"However, I have the conditions. General Ye was promoted to the general of the empire. I voluntarily abdicate. At the same time, you, Ornest, must step down as minister. This empire is handed over to talented young people. You and I are both old. , It's time to retire."

When General Bude said this, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Those generals with heavy powers are eager to discourage.

"General! This is absolutely impossible! You are upright and mature, and how old are you? If the empire and your majesty did not have you...!"

"Okay! You don't have to say much, even if I retreat from the position of general, I can continue to serve as your majesty's personal guard, guard the peace of the imperial capital, and ensure your majesty's safety. Moreover, the talent of General Ye must be above me, although he is young , But he is a true loyal and good general. With him in command of the three armies, the empire can be safe and his majesty can govern with peace of mind.

When General Bude said a word, all the generals closed their mouths unwillingly. Everyone could hear this decision.

"Onest, it's your turn now. If you retreat from the position of minister, this will be done. If you don't even have this determination, then General Ye's promotion will be postponed for the time being. When will you wait? Make up your mind, come and discuss with me again."

The unquestionable majestic voice exploded, and General Bud's eyes were like electricity, looking directly at the minister in the court.

Faced with this kind of persecution, the minister's pupils shrank and his face was extremely gloomy.

Although he counted Bud’s troubles, he did not count that he would come forward in this way. Even after Bud’s abdication, he is still the commander of the Guards, and those generals can also be sheltered, but if he is from the position of minister When going up and down, many people covet his power and status. When that happens, even the so-called cronies will be ready to move, wanting to hold the emperor on his behalf, and power will prevail.

Therefore, he would never agree to this condition, and today he lost half a move to Bud.

"Huh! Since General Bud has expressed opposition, then your majesty can only break his promise. I hope that his majesty will not be angry, and I hope that General Ye will not bear hatred. This matter will be suppressed for the time being, and when the general has figured it out before making a decision. ."

The little emperor gritted his teeth and wanted to speak, but Ye secretly shook his head at her and stopped her.

"The minister is serious. The general is also for the sake of the empire. Naturally, I will not bear any grudges. Since the rules are unbreakable, please take your majesty back. For the minister, as long as he can be missed by your majesty, it is already the best return."

Ye hugged his fists and returned with a faint smile.

Seeing Ye's stopping, the little emperor felt wronged for him, and finally showed his suppressed anger.

"General Ye knows the righteousness, and I am relieved. Since Bud disagrees, then let this matter go. However, General Ye has made a great contribution to destroying the southern rebels. I cannot keep my promise and I am very ashamed, so I must make good compensation no matter what. Aiqing, how do you think I should reward General Ye? This time, if you have to push three things and stop four, you will all die!"

After the death, everyone in the hall felt a coldness rising from the soles of their feet.

Even the ministers and the generals showed different colors, their eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Seeing this, Ye could not help but sigh. The little emperor is still young after all, and many things are easily impulsive. This time I am afraid that the minister will see the clues, but since the conflict between Esders and NIGHT.RAID, Ye has been right. The minister was annoyed. If he dared to attack the little emperor, Ye would definitely not be merciful. Others couldn't kill him, it didn't mean Ye couldn't do it.

Although the minister still had a hole card to make Ye Ji fear, once he violated Ye's Ni Lin, he would do whatever it takes.

Under the threat of the little emperor, the civil and military officials finally expressed their opinions.

This time, no one dared to oppose the reward. Even if the threat of the little emperor, the achievement of destroying nearly a million rebels with a hundred thousand troops, was enough to be promoted to the title, or the general is too sensitive and too special, who Nor will it jump out and pretend to be a big deal.

The most common proposals such as the reward of ten thousand dollars, the gift of the manor, and the increase of military power did not satisfy the little emperor. Compared with the canonization of the general, these rewards were not worth mentioning until the general Bude spoke again.

"Although I don't ask about government affairs, General Ye cannot be promoted this time, and I also have some responsibility, so I will propose it. The former Minister of Defense was beheaded by General Ye because of his greed. The five imperial ministers are indispensable. Your Majesty might as well let General Ye hold a second post, in charge of the defense of the empire, which can be regarded as a remedy for him. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

"The Minister of Defense?"

As soon as these words came out, many people nodded secretly.

The job of the Secretary of Defense is not to conscript soldiers, but to be responsible for the security of the empire.

Bandits, bandit killers, treason and rebellious ministers, basically everything is within the responsibility of the Minister of Defense. Moreover, this position is also the head of all the empire’s garrison. General Ye, under the name of "criminal", let him It is the most appropriate position to hold this position. Although the general does not participate in politics, the title of Minister of Defense is the most special.

But in the entire hall, only Minister Ornest had a gloomy face. This was definitely not the result he wanted. The Minister of Defense had long been chosen in his heart, that is, his only son, Sheila. It is not that Ye's talent is not as capable as Sheila, nor is it. Ye's weight is not heavy enough, but the minister does not want Ye to participate in the political power. He only hopes that Ye will develop in the army. This is why he has always felt relieved.

"Minister, what do you think?"

The little emperor seemed quite satisfied, and turned to ask the minister.

"Ohnest, since you intend to make General Ye a general, then I don’t think you will stop this? Your Majesty, I propose the post of a special defense general, which is equivalent to the general and minister. This post is responsible. The public security of the empire also governs the military of the empire. I give him the second decision-making power in the name of the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and this post is headed by General Ye."

"what!?"

The civil servants and generals in the main hall rioted again.

The generals of the empire have never had an orthodox name, but this "defense general" is an ad hoc. It is located at the same place as the general and ministers, second only to the supreme emperor. Such a high position is really to be given to the young General Ye!?

Chapter 0261: The Tranquility Before the Storm

In the empire calendar XXX, after General Esdes suppressed the foreign nations in the north, another sensation happened in the world.

The emperor personally issued an edict to add the post of "defense general", responsible for the management of the empire's public security and commanding the imperial military. Its status is equal to the minister of civil servants and the chief general of generals, second only to the supreme emperor.

The first person was the youngest general in the history of the empire. With the help of a hundred thousand criminal troops, he wiped out the youth commander of the Southern Revolutionary Army, the criminal general Ye.At this point, the empire is no longer divided into two parts, independent of civil and military, but has become a three-legged situation. Minister Ornest has lost the management power of the empire's public security, and General Bud has handed over half of the imperial power.

As soon as this edict was issued, the empire was in an uproar. There were mixed opinions about the promotion of the evil general.

Some people sang and cheered, some were trembling, and some were jealous and secretly slandered, but no one dared to object clearly. This was an appointment approved by the minister and the general and approved by the emperor. Whoever dared to jump out It didn't end well.

Of course, many imperial citizens also supported the dark rule that dispersed the ministers, and the soldiers who worshiped the strong also responded. They were able to defeat nearly ten times the feats of the rebels with a force of 100,000 troops. Even General Bud couldn’t. I don't admire it. What soldiers are most passionate about now is to join the criminal army and become a member of General Ye. This is the highest honor and pursuit of being a soldier.

After the garrison responsible for the security of the empire has a new owner, the young policemen are inexplicably excited and energetic. For them, being able to serve under the name of General Ye is equivalent to joining the Ministry of Crime.As for those who secretly embezzled and accepted bribes and colluded with police and bandits, they almost couldn't sleep at night. Some chose to resign, and some applied for transfer from the imperial capital.

It took several days for the storm caused by the "defense general" to gradually calm down.

Since Ye Zai was promoted, he has stayed at home behind closed doors for a few days, and declined any congratulations and requests for meetings.
