Chapter 211: Competition in the Court

Xiaoyue Dynasty, in the imperial city, above the court hall.

It has been half a month since the last time I went to court.

Many ministers felt sad in their hearts. They could never forget how glorious Prime Minister Wei was when he went to court half a month ago. He was full of energy and high-spirited. He successively reported to the emperor and elected three of his own people to important official positions.

The emperor seemed to intentionally want to give him a hand.

For many of Prime Minister Wei's requests, he agreed directly without much hesitation.

At that time, the left prime minister's face looked a little ugly, and this scene could be seen by everyone in the court.

The emperor was good at controlling people and knew how to check and balance. He had been maintaining the balance between the Wei prime minister and the left prime minister.

Prior to this, Prime Minister Wei had not been in court for a long time due to his injury. During this period, Prime Minister Zuo was doing whatever he could and gathered many neutral supporters. Their power once squeezed Prime Minister Wei very uncomfortable.

But this time, by absorbing the essence and blood of the emperor's veins, Prime Minister Wei cured the hidden disease and at the same time broke through the realm.

Every move he made showed his style and caught the left prime minister off guard.

This time, what kind of "offensive" will he stage in the court?

The emperor of the Xiaoyue Dynasty was named Wan Yun.

Judging from his age, he is about the same age as Wei Xiang and Zuo Xiang, but he has been emperor for a full hundred years.

Under the rule of Emperor Wan Yun, the Xiaoyue Dynasty vigorously promoted martial arts, improved the Qianlong List, unified the allocation of training resources, supported various aristocratic families, and focused on selecting potential geniuses. For a time, the development was in full swing, and geniuses emerged one after another.

Now, Emperor Wan Yun is sitting on the throne, looking at the civil and military officials of the dynasty with an indifferent expression.

"Your Majesty has a decree and a written message!"

In front of Emperor Wan Yun, an old eunuch shouted in a high voice.

Inside, almost everyone looked at Prime Minister Wei and Prime Minister Zuo.

In that court meeting half a month ago, the Zuo Prime Minister was defeated one after another and was caught off guard by the Wei Prime Minister. How would he fight back this time?

With his character, he would definitely not be willing to suffer defeat. If he said that there was no means this time, no one would believe it.

"My lord, you have the foundation!"

The left prime minister did not hesitate and took the lead in taking the lead.

brush!

All the eyes of the audience were immediately focused on the left prime minister.

Prime Minister Zuo bowed respectfully and said, "The position of the city lord of Changli City has always been vacant. However, the position of this place is very important and cannot be without a city lord for a day. I would like to elect someone to serve as the city lord of Changli City to share your majesty's worries!"

"speak."

Emperor Wan Yun smiled calmly, all this was within his expectation.

Changli City is the fifth-ranked city in the Xiaoyue Dynasty, and it is also a very famous city for weapon refining.

There are three weapon-refining academies inside, which are dedicated to cultivating talents in weapon-refining for the Xiaoyue Dynasty.

The previous city lord of Changli City made a big mistake and was imprisoned. Now the position of city lord is vacant. Both the left prime minister and the Wei prime minister want to elect someone from their side, which can be regarded as occupying Xiaoyue.

A major lifeline of the dynasty.

Of course, although the two of them stated that they were fighting secretly, they would never dare to do anything that would harm the interests of the Xiaoyue Dynasty.

Because Emperor Wan Yun was very strong and was the number one expert in the Xiaoyue Dynasty.

Among the royal family, there are a few older generations with exaggerated strength. They usually keep a low profile and take care of themselves, but if someone doesn't know how to live or die, they don't mind taking action and killing them.

Emperor Wan Yun was happy to see the competition between the two. Firstly, he did not want one family to dominate, and secondly, only competition could maintain sufficient pressure in the court.

Everyone is thinking about how to do better in order to outcompete each other. This will invisibly maintain a sense of fast-paced competition. All civil and military officials in the dynasty dare not relax, for fear that if they stand on the wrong team, they will be attacked. liquidation.

"I would like to elect Shi Huan, the deputy city lord of Changli City, to take over the position of city lord. He once served as the principal of the Weapon Refining Academy in Changli City for thirty years and made outstanding achievements, and then served as the principal for twenty years. Deputy City Lord Nian, it can be said that few people can compare to him in terms of understanding of Changli City!"

Prime Minister Zuo said respectfully.

In the venue, many officials looked "as expected".

Shi Huan is the brother of Zuo Xiang's concubine. In terms of qualifications, he is indeed enough to hold this position.

As soon as he came up, the left prime minister began to make arrangements and deploy his own forces.

This is preparing to show his sword towards Prime Minister Wei!

"Xiang Wei, what do you think?"

Emperor Wan Yun did not agree or refuse, but instead asked Wei Xiang with a half-smile.

Prime Minister Wei came out and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please make your own decision on everything."

"Um?"

Hearing what Prime Minister Wei said, everyone in the civil and military dynasty looked surprised.

It's really strange. Did Prime Minister Wei take the wrong medicine today? Why didn't he refute it?

Could it be that he just watched as the left prime minister elected Shi Huan?

There is another reason why Changli City is so important. It is very close to Liufeng City where Prime Minister Wei is located. They are two adjacent cities.

Once Changli City is controlled by Shi Huan, the Left Prime Minister will definitely restrict the large-scale circulation of magic weapons to Liufeng City in the future, which is equivalent to blocking the throat of Prime Minister Wei on the one hand.

Prime Minister Wei is so wise, there is no reason why he cannot see through it.

Why didn't he refute?

"Okay, if that's the case, then let's make Shi Huan the lord of Changli City."

Seeing that Prime Minister Wei had nothing to say, Emperor Wan Yun also spoke calmly.

Prime Minister Zuo was very happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

He cupped his fists and said, "My lord, I still have Ben!"

"Play."

"..."

Next, came the left prime minister’s counterattack.

In the past half month, he had obviously studied everything carefully.

Every talent he recommended was absolutely qualified and experienced, and the position they were placed in was all related to training resources. In other words, Prime Minister Zuo wanted to use this series of arrangements to restrict the government of the Prime Minister of the Dynasty and Wei Dynasty. The circulating cultivation resources.

It's so cruel, killing without blood!

What is surprising is that Wei Wei did not refute all this.

Emperor Wan Yun would ask every time to see what he wanted.

But Prime Minister Wei only said, "Your Majesty, please make your own decisions."

Does this mean that Wei Xiang surrendered and gave up?

No, it's impossible.

He has broken through the realm and is in high spirits. How can he be willing to be controlled by others?

The entire court was filled with the voices of the left prime minister.

This series of consecutive punches, in the eyes of all civil and military officials, had completely stunned Prime Minister Wei.

Finally, Zuo Xiang finished playing the last note and regrouped.

This time, he selected five of his confidants, three of whom were approved by Emperor Wan Yun.

Xiang Zuo is very satisfied with this result.

Even, a little proud.

He didn't understand why Prime Minister Wei had to give in.

This has never been his character.

Could it be that there are other thoughts?

Emperor Wan Yun glanced at the old eunuch, and the old eunuch immediately understood and said in a sharp voice, "Do you have any more notes to play? If you have something to do, you will start playing, and if there is nothing, you will leave the court!"
Chapter completed!
