Six hundred and seven chapters seize military power
As Di Xin finished speaking, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence.
Ouyang Lie wanted to say something, but he stopped talking several times.
Other officials looked at Emperor Xin with dumbfounded eyes, including the prefect Zhou Yanwai who could not conceal his astonishment.
Although he is just a deputy envoy, as a close associate of General Zhenguan, once he is placed in the army, the commander of this army will no longer be the commander Ouyang Lie, but His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
They thought that Di Xin was going to deploy his own men, and they were even ready to cut the flesh, but they never expected that King Yu would attack the military power as soon as he came up.
Anytime you change the ownership of military power, you need to be cautious, not to mention that in such a borderland, where the imperial power is too far away and foreign enemies are around, taking control of the army is equivalent to controlling the whole place.
In the border area, the three divisions are supposed to check and balance each other, but in fact the command division actually has the greatest power. It can be said that the army is the lifeblood of the general.
How dare he? Aren't he afraid of causing mutiny?
Everyone looked at Di Xin as if he were a madman.
There was even a hint of cruelty in Ouyang Lie's eyes.
Emperor Xin is the general who has been granted the title of Zhenguan by His Majesty. Legally, the military power of the entire border area belongs to him. It is normal for King Yu to place his own men in his own army.
But he had been at the border for so many years and had already regarded Taicang City's army as his own private property. How could he accept others' involvement?
If a general has no power, then he is really just fighting for his own good.
Even if Di Xin showed his talents in the future, Ouyang Lie could only accept obeying his orders on the overall situation, but the control of the army must be firmly in his hands.
It can be said that Di Xin touched Ouyang Lie's reverse scale at once.
However, Ouyang Lie's aura that belonged to the perfect period of acquired martial arts had just been revealed, when an even more majestic aura arose in the back hall.
puff……
In the hall, except for Di Xin and Xi Zi who remained calm, all the officials turned pale. Ouyang Lie, who was the first among them, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"innate……"
Ouyang Lie couldn't control his chaotic energy and looked in the direction of the back hall in disbelief.
The aura that shocked everyone just passed by in a flash, but he knew that it was not an illusion. Only a strong person at the innate level could make him, a warrior in the acquired perfection stage, vomit blood just by relying on aura.
Moreover, he is also a strong one among the innate great masters, and has achieved perfect control over himself. Among the officials present, there are ordinary people without a trace of cultivation, but except for him, the others have nothing but pale faces.
No.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Ouyang Lie vomiting blood, but now they heard the word "Xiantian" coming from his mouth, and their eyes looking at Di Xin were even more shocked.
There is also a trace of fear in it.
No wonder His Royal Highness Prince Yu is so bold and dares to attack the military power as soon as he enters the city. It turns out that he has the support of the innate Grand Master behind him.
However, according to the news from the capital, isn't it said that His Royal Highness King Yu is the weakest among the princes and has no intention of competing for the throne?
King Yu hid it so deeply.
Everyone chose to accept their fate one by one.
With a great innate master by his side, let alone what happened at the South Gate during the day, it would not be difficult for His Highness Prince Yu to seize power.
They didn't even think of giving King Yu a show of strength.
Everyone couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they thought of what would happen if Di Xin brought the Innate Grand Master to settle accounts with them during the day.
Di Xin ignored the expressions of the officials in Taicang City for the time being, and instead sipped tea leisurely.
Although he is only in the middle stage of acquired martial arts, his dual cultivation of magic and martial arts coupled with his experience and knowledge as a world master makes it easy to deal with a fully acquired martial artist.
But why bother?
With the existence of an innate great master like Zeng Hongshen, those meaningless fights are a waste of time.
However, if Ouyang Lie had recognized the situation just now, he would not have wanted to expose Zeng Hongshen's trump card so early. Now, everyone would know that there is a great innate master beside him.
When the news reaches the capital, the princes who had just let down their guard against him will probably be unable to sit still.
But this is good, the reputation of the innate grand master will also help him control the border faster.
Halfway through the Di Xin tea, Ouyang Lie finally adjusted his Qi and his whole breath stabilized. If it weren't for a little blood on his chest, it wouldn't even be obvious that he was injured.
However, although he recovered, all the little thoughts in his heart had disappeared.
Ouyang Lie did a good job of hiding his unwillingness, and did not mention the Xiantian Grand Master in the back hall. Instead, he pretended that nothing could happen, and said with his hands in hand: "The army has a lot of military affairs, and I am really beyond my capabilities.
I am naturally very honored that His Highness can send someone to help."
"Thank you, Mr. Ouyang."
Di Xin nodded lightly, his goal was achieved, but at this time he acted as if he didn't care.
…
The banquet had been prepared in the post house, but all the officials in Taicang City ate indifferently.
They originally wanted to give His Royal Highness Prince Yu a show of strength, but now they have been deprived of the most important military power in Taicang City. Coupled with the existence of the innate Grand Master, Taicang City is already in Prince Yu's pocket.
After the banquet, Taicang City officials bid farewell to Emperor Xin one by one with smiling faces, and Emperor Xin also returned the greetings one by one.
He doesn't care about the attitude of these officials towards him, as long as they don't secretly cause trouble for him, but with the intimidation of the innate grand master, no one should be so open-minded.
As for whether any of these officials were from the lineage of other princes such as King Cheng or King Jing, Di Xin could confirm that there were. Even at the banquet just now, he had already suspected several targets through the performance of these people.
But it is impossible for him to kill people because of factional reasons. In this case, his intention to compete for the throne will be completely hidden, and he will be targeted by all the princes.
Moreover, his act of brazenly seizing military power today has gone too far. If he kills people now, it will aggravate the already sensitive nerves of these officials.
Doing so is completely outweighing the gains and losses. Besides, when Di Xin completely controls the border, some people will naturally change their camps and join him.
Now, if they want to send the message, let them do it.
And the reality was pretty much what Di Xin expected.
The Taicang City officials who came to see King Yu separated after leaving the post house. Several of them did not go home directly after avoiding everyone.
Or there were flying pigeons fluttering their wings, or someone was taking advantage of the night to leave the city... Soon, everything that happened in the lobby of the post house, including the news that His Highness Prince Yu was protected by the Innate Grand Master, went to different places through different methods.
The place.
Then, not long after, they were passed to their respective owners behind them.
Before that, there was a mountain stream on the way from Taicang City to Border Pass.
Suddenly, a stone the size of a finger pierced the night sky and accurately hit the pigeon that had just flown over the mountain stream.
Not long after, a thin line of smoke went out. Then there was the sound of chewing mixed with a few grunts.
