King's Landing

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

As soon as General Bude said this, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Those generals with heavy powers are eager to dissuade.

"General! This is absolutely impossible! You are upright and mature, and how old are you? If the empire and your majesty were not for 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 your 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 temporarily. When will you wait? Make up your mind, come to 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 abdicated, he was still the commander of the Guards, and those generals could also be sheltered, but if he took the position of minister Up and down, there are many people who 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 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. When the general has figured it out, he will make 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 ministers, as long as they can be missed by your majesty, it is 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, let this matter go. However, General Ye has made a great contribution to destroying the southern rebels. I am ashamed that I cannot keep my promise, so I must make good compensation no matter what. Love Qing, how do you think I should reward General Ye? This time, if you have to push back and forth, 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, otherwise 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 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 for being greedy. The five ministers of the Empire are indispensable. Your Majesty might as well let General Ye hold the second post, in charge of the defense of the empire, which can be regarded as a compensation for him. I don't know what your Majesty thinks?"

"The Minister of Defense?"

When these words came out, many people nodded secretly.

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

Bandits, bandits, killers, and treason ministers. Basically everything is within the responsibility of the Minister of Defense. Moreover, this position is also the head of all the empire’s garrisons. General Ye uses the name of "crimes" and he It is the most suitable 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 whole 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 mind, 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 government. 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, equal 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'defensive general' is an ad hoc. It is located at the same place as the generals and ministers, second only to the supreme emperor. Such a high position is really to be given to the young General Ye!?
