King's Landing

The Second Element of King's Landing Volume 8 Chapter 120 The Minister's Wrath

Recently, a major incident occurred in the imperial capital, and the emperor and hundreds of officials were alarmed.

The minister of defense of the imperial government was brutally murdered in the northern part of the imperial capital. The man who committed this murder was the youngest general in the imperial capital who was well-known in the imperial capital.

When the emperor learned of this, he immediately summoned General Ye into the palace. The civil and military officials in the imperial capital were all looking at what kind of severe punishment this imperial novice would receive after committing such a bad deed. , But the result was shocking, and General Ye came out of the palace intact, even with a relaxed smile.

The next day, the emperor announced to the world.

The Minister of Defense of the Empire was old and faint, committed heinous evils, collaborating with the enemy and treason in private, framed Zhongliang, and took numerous bribes.In the end, General Ye was fortunate enough to be able to see through it. Therefore, he dismissed the post of Minister of Defense of Ibri. The embezzled money was paid into the treasury. Imperial capital.

General Ye has done a good job in punishing thieves and rewarded him with a reward of tens of thousands of dollars. He gave the Minister of Defense a private manor, and specially granted the privilege of'cutting first and then playing, punishing crime'.

As soon as this edict came out, the entire empire was in turmoil, the civilians cheered loudly, and the bureaucrats were mixed.

The empire that has been passed down for thousands of years has grown numerous malignant tumors. Among them, the Minister of Defense is the biggest and most smelly one except for Minister Ornest. Now this malignant tumor has been removed.

The countless "small tumors" involved in it, everyone is in danger, everyone is living in fear, and for a while, the atmosphere of the empire is completely new, and this news spreads throughout the empire like a hurricane. The name "General" has once again spread to every household. Both bureaucratic vendors and ordinary people have once again met the youngest general in the history of the empire.

As for General Ye himself, he secretly entered the imperial city again, but this time he met not the emperor, but the minister.

On the luxurious dining table, Minister Ornest sat opposite Ye.The two of them ate for themselves the royal meal that only the emperor could enjoy. It has been half an hour since the beginning, but no one spoke.

After three rounds of drinking, the minister seemed a little satisfied, and his speed of sweeping food slowed down.

"You drew me an important piece, how do you plan to fill it?"

The minister asked casually while chewing the meat.

"There are a lot of chess pieces, what kind of old waste that has lost its function is left for."

Ye also casually shook the toast in his hand and returned. After so many years, he is still not interested in drinks. No, it should be said that he is only in front of the ministers. He does not drink, and he does not drink.

"You said it easy, he at least helped me pull out a dozen hard-to-pull nails from Bud's old stubborn man. You let me lose this kind of pawn for one man. You should give me an explanation, Evil!"

The minister suddenly put down the meat in his hand, and the turbid golden pupils became gloomy, and a terrifying aura radiated from him, like a tyrannical super dangerous species. This was the first time the minister showed such an expression to Ye in years.

This time, he was really angry. It seems that he attaches great importance to the chess piece of Defense Minister Ibri.

"What? You think I'm doing this just for a subordinate?"

Ye looked at the minister without fear, his amber pupils stretched out, and the silver glow flickered.

The minister squinted his eyes slightly, the dangerous aura on his body did not disappear, he waited for Ye's explanation and explanation.

"General Bud has already had an opinion on the minister."

Ye just faintly said these words, and the fierceness of the minister suddenly rose.

"What's wrong with that old stubborn!?"

"General Bud never participated in politics because of the family's ancestral training, and never asked about the actions of the ministers. That is because he still holds the most important military power in the empire. He is not afraid of anyone rebelling, because once someone dares to do so, He will lead troops to suppress it. But now, Esther and I have more than half of the military power in the empire, and we are both on your side, the minister."

"You mean, that old stubborn can't help but turn his face with me!?"

The minister slammed the table, staring sharply.

"In fact, the minister already has this vigilance in his heart, so I don't need to say more."

Facing the fierceness of the minister, Ye said calmly without feeling.

Hearing him say this, the minister really reduced his ferocity. He stared at the opposite Ye, and after a long time, he spoke.

"You're right, the old stubborn will definitely bite me back, so I let you and Esders take control of the army early. If the old stubborn wants to kill me in advance, this is the most unfavorable for me."

Ye shrugged, noncommittal.

"But if you say that, what effect can the abolition of Ibri do to that old stubbornness?"

"This minister should be clear in his heart that in order to prevent Bud from making any moves in advance, it is necessary to temporarily abandon a few pieces. In my opinion, it is best to waste a few more pieces, leaving Bud puzzled, so as to buy us time. As long as Esdes returns to the North, with her merits, it will be enough to win more military power, and if I catch more'rebels', it will also improve my reputation and merit."

Having said that, Ye did not continue.

After listening, the minister did not say anything. The pair of golden pupils stared at Ye closely, and his expression was uncertain.

The atmosphere froze for a while before the minister regained his calm tone and said.

"Those pieces can't be moved. If you want to mix fame and merit, go and deal with the rebels. I will discuss with your majesty and let you be solely responsible for the extermination of the rebels. You did a good job at the southern checkpoint last time. Those rebels are also mine. The stumbling block must be removed."

"I don't think I will look for them. I guess they will come here too. I have cut down so many of them. They always come to me for revenge. I will definitely play with them."

Ye smiled and nodded, put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and walked out of the room.

The minister stared at him and left, his face gloomy again.

"Don't let me down, I can train you up and naturally keep a hand. If you are smart enough, you should know that once you betray me..."
