Chapter 113: Duke Erpin
The atmosphere of the entire Dongsheng City became strange for a while, and since the Ye Chen got rid of the land patrol, everyone in Dongsheng City was in danger.
Officials kept visiting Ye Chen, indicating that they would never be enemies of Ye Chen. Joke, the emperor didn't stop Ye Chen from killing Lu Xun when he went, who would dare to despise such a character?
"You're going to let him kill Lu Xun?" The old man in front of him obviously suppressed his anger, but the anger between his words could still be heard.
"Ancestor, don't be angry yet. According to my observation, that Ye Chen is definitely a chosen son, and he will become a great weapon in the future. The Emperor of the Rising Sun explained.
Seeing that the ancestor of the Rising Sun Kingdom did not react, the Emperor of the Rising Sun Kingdom continued: "How long has Ye Chen been in the Rising Sun Country, he has already made such a big noise, and there are people from the Human Realm Nine Heavens around him, as for Lu Xun, if he dies, he will die. ”
The Ancestor of the Rising Sun Kingdom sighed, "I don't cherish Lu Xun's life, but your prestige as an emperor. If someone kills the prime minister in front of you, isn't that a slap in the face? ”
There are three Protectors of the Rising Sun Kingdom, one of whom is from the royal family. For the royal family's every move, it is natural to pay double attention.
"Ancestor, please believe me. In the future, Ye Chen will definitely be able to create greater value. "The Emperor of the Rising Sun Kingdom swore an oath, and his face was determined.
The Ancestor of the Rising Sun Kingdom stared at the emperor, and at the end, he waved his hand: "You go, but you must pay attention to proportion." ”
The emperor of the Rising Sun Kingdom is ready to seal Ye Chen as the Duke of the Second Rank. This is also the reason why the ancestor of the Rising Sun Kingdom is angry, he killed the prime minister, and you promoted him to his official position, isn't this nonsense.
But the emperor didn't think so, the emperor thought that only if Ye Chen had a sense of belonging to the Rising Sun Country, that would be the best.
"Your Majesty, what did you tell me to do? Ye Chen was in the palace of the Rising Sun Kingdom at the moment, and the emperor was sitting opposite him.
"Ye Chen, I want to promote your title to the Duke of the Second Rank, what do you think?" the emperor raised his head, looked at Ye Chen and said.
Ye Chen was still very surprised when he heard this, it stands to reason that he killed Lu Xun, and it would be good if the emperor didn't blame him, why did he want to be promoted to his official position now?
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Ye Chen didn't want to accept it rashly, although this matter sounded like a good thing, it was better to ask clearly, at least it could make him feel at ease.
The Emperor of the Rising Sun Kingdom laughed and said, "After you killed Lu Xun, it was rumored that you and I were not on good terms, this is just a way to appease people's hearts. ”
"In that case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate. Ye Chen thanked him. Since the emperor wants to reward him, it is up to him to do it.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else to do, I will go back first. "Ye Chen doesn't plan to spend time here, Ye's shop has just opened, and he has to take care of a lot of things.
After this period of time, the Ye family store can be handled by Wang Danqing. After all, he still has to practice every day, so he really doesn't have that much time to take care of the shop.
Unexpectedly, the emperor waved his hand, "Don't worry, there will be a banquet in a while, and officials above the fourth grade will be invited to the banquet, and you will also go to participate." ”
Ye Chen thought about it, the emperor should want to show in front of the officials that his relationship with the emperor was not unharmonious. Thinking of this, Ye Chen simply agreed.
The banquet was very lively, and there were constantly people like Ye Chen greeting him. When everyone was almost seated, the emperor walked out slowly.
"Meet Your Majesty. And they stood up and saluted.
"Ye Chen, how is your cultivation lately? The emperor was the first to ask about Ye Chen.
Of course, Ye Chen knew that the emperor did it on purpose, just to show the friendship of the monarch and the minister with everyone.
"The effect of cultivation has been very good recently, and it is expected that we should be able to break through soon. Ye Chen naturally wanted to cooperate with the emperor, so he responded with a smile.
The Emperor did not speak again, the two looked at each other, and then sat down separately.
Of course, these officials must not know that Ye Chen and the emperor deliberately let them see it. They were all thinking silently there, speculating about the relationship between Ye Chen and the emperor.
It doesn't look like it's as rumored to be. It is rumored that Ye Chen and the emperor have not been on good terms for a long time, as long as the emperor says something, Ye Chen will definitely come out to contradict him.
But looking at the situation, the two seem to get along quite happily. So those rumors are fake?
"Ye Gongzi is extremely talented, this cultivation speed is really fast. An official stood up and spoke.
Since the relationship between Ye Chen and the emperor is not unharmonious, wouldn't it be better, and he can directly curry favor with Ye Chen.
Ye Chen raised his glass and stood up and responded: "Thank you for your compliment, I'm just a fluke,"
The man waved his hand, "No, no, no, Ye Gongzi is modest." With Ye Gongzi's talent, sooner or later he can grow into a pillar of the Rising Sun Kingdom, and the name of genius is definitely worthy of it. ”
"Yes, yes, now that he has been named a second-grade duke, it is really a shame for us old guys, haha. The other man chimed in.
One of the officials hugged his fist at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is really discerning, and you can recognize a genius like Ye Gongzi." ”
Everyone is disdainful of this person, and while patting the emperor's ass, they don't forget to pat Ye Chen's fart, which is really left and right.
"Ye Gongzi, my name is Chen Fanglin, I admire you a lot, and I hope to get to know you. The sycophant raised his glass and said to Ye Chen.
The so-called reaching out and not hitting smiling people, since people take the initiative to show favor, Ye Chen naturally can't ignore it. So he also raised his wine glass and made a rare politeness.
The emperor just watched all this from the sidelines and did not say anything more. As long as everyone knows that he and Ye Chen are not on good terms, it is easy to arouse suspicion if he talks too much.
In the time that followed, Chen Fanglin's eyes always glanced at Ye Chen, intentionally or unintentionally. Ye Chen frowned slightly, not knowing what Chen Fanglin's idea was.
The banquet lasted until it was very late, and Ye Chen walked on the way back to Ye's Mansion. Walking and walking, but suddenly stopped. "I've been following for so long, come out. ”
There was no second person on the street except Ye Chen, and Ye Chen didn't leave, just stood there and waited quietly.
"Ye Gongzi's perception ability is really admirable. After a long time, a person came out of a hidden corner, it was Chen Fanglin.
"Master Chen, what's the matter with you?" Ye Chen's tone was not polite, he didn't like others to follow him.
"Ye Gongzi doesn't need to be angry, I just want to test Ye Gongzi's ability, whether it is really as strong as rumored. Chen Fanglin smiled faintly.
This look is different from his ass at the banquet. It seems that this person has a very good camouflage ability.
