King's Landing

Inside the magnificent hall, there was a sense of murder.

Today's court is different from usual. The emperor has all the civil servants and military commanders present.

On the left are a group of officials headed by the four most powerful civil servants in the empire in finance, taxation, internal affairs, and government. On the right are a few middle-aged veterans in military uniforms who are about to retreat. Behind them are some young and promising officials. general.

Sitting on the dragon seat, the little emperor wore the crown used when he was enthroned, and he held the scepter representing the highest power of the empire, sitting right in his chest.Next to her, as always, stood Minister Ornest, the head of the Empire's civil servants.

"Your Majesty, time is almost up."

After receiving a signal from the minister, the little emperor nodded and raised the scepter in his hand.

"General Xuan Ye enters the hall."

The voice fell, and heavy footsteps sounded outside the hall.

Under the gaze of all civil servants and generals, a young general dressed in a black military uniform and a white windbreaker entered the hall.

"His Majesty."

After entering the inner hall, the young general just bowed slightly, as a salute to the little emperor.

This privilege is possessed by only three people in the entire empire. Minister Ornest, the head of civil servants, General Bud, the head of military generals, and finally this young general in black uniform. All other cultural relic officials must meet the emperor. Kneel and salute.

"General Ye has worked hard."

The little emperor showed a faint smile, which was very relieved, but there was only one person who really understood the smile.

This person is the young general, Ye who wiped out the southern revolutionary rebels.

"Let your majesty be concerned, the minister is deeply honored."

Ye's gaze and the little emperor looked at each other slightly, conveying a meaning that only the two of them could understand.

"General Ye was born and died for the empire, of course I miss it. Empire, no, I am fortunate to have such a good general as General Ye. It is really a blessing for the empire and also for me. General Ye has wiped out what has been rampant in the south with only one hundred thousand soldiers. Millions of rebels, such feats are rare even in the thousand-year history of the empire. Now that General Ye returns in triumph, I am very relieved."

Although the little emperor is still young, he already has what a country's king should have.

This kind of superficial words came out from her mouth naturally, without pretending.

"General Ye did not disappoint me, and successfully wiped out the entire southern rebel forces. Now, when I fulfilled my promise, before General Ye set off, I promised that when General Ye returned triumphantly, he would be named a great leader. General."

"Your Majesty! Please think twice!"

As soon as the King's mouth of the little emperor was opened, there was a voice of opposition from the general.

"Your Majesty! The veteran thought that General Ye was really a good general in the empire, and his merits were enough to serve as a general. However, for thousands of years, the empire has always had only one general, just as the empire has only one emperor and only one emperor. Special minister. Our imperial army cannot have two supreme commanders at the same time, so the minister urges your majesty to consider it as appropriate."

Standing at the forefront of the military commander, an old general with half-white hair knelt on one knee, and loudly discouraged him in a sonorous tone.

"The minister also thinks that it is not appropriate. The tradition of the millennium cannot be broken. Although General Ye has worked hard and is a young general, he still lacks compared with General Bud. This decision of your Majesty is too hasty and is unfair to the general. , I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Another rough-faced middle-aged general spoke loudly, his tone clearly expressing dissatisfaction with the decision of the little emperor.

In a row, two generals with heavy powers came out to oppose him, and the little emperor's face suddenly became cold.

But she still suppressed the anger in her heart and said calmly.

"Among Aiqing, who else expresses opposition? I want to hear your opinions."

"The minister also felt that this matter should be discussed in the long term."

"The minister seconded."

"The subordinates also thought it was wrong."

After someone took the lead, nearly a third of the civil servants below knelt down and raised their objections. These people are almost all bureaucrats supported by General Bud. Among those generals, only a few are still standing, and the rest are Kneel down.

Compared with this, the opponents even exceeded those who responded, but the four most powerful civil ministers stood upright. They were all cronies cultivated by the minister, and they would not make a statement until the minister did not express his position.

"Asshole thing, are you trying to rebel? Your majesty issued an edict as early as when General Ye set out. The emperor's mouth opened like water splashed out. Do you want your Majesty to break his promise and be treated as a laughingstock for the ages? "

Finally, the minister cracked his white teeth, his face was hideous, and his whole body released a sullen aura.

"You rubbish, at that time, I ordered you to go to the south and 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 can do it? Who of you here dare 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?"

Swept by the viper-like sight of the minister, all the civil servants and generals flinched.

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

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

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

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

Minister Ornest was not afraid, and sneered at the incoming person.

"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, so 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."
