Chapter 18: Induction
Preparations for the enthronement ceremony of the crown prince Ye have begun and are scheduled to take place next month.
Ye Futian still attaches great importance to the sense of ceremony, even if no one objects, he doesn't want to sit on the dragon chair now, when he is in the court, he would rather just stand next to the dragon chair.
It is only when he sits in this chair at the moment of the enthronement that he can feel true satisfaction.
"Do you have anything to report today?" Ye Futian stood with his hands in his hands and looked down at the ministers.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in the three years that the imperial court has ceased to function, all parts of the country have fallen into chaos, and it is you who have awakened the erosive imperial court, and now the northern kingdom is gradually on the right track, and it will surely usher in a great prosperous era soon."
"That's very good."
Who doesn't know that it's flattering, but the prince just loves to hear it.
Today's government is basically handled by Prime Minister Lu Cheng, no one will discuss state affairs with the prince in the last dynasty, in fact, even if it is meaningless to discuss state affairs with the prince, he Ye Shutian has been a brave and ruthless warrior since he was a child, and he doesn't know anything about managing the country.
During the last dynasty, the ministers could only take turns patting Ye Futian's ass, and the atmosphere of the entire Golden Dragon Hall was dyed with a hint of funny.
"If it's nothing serious, then retreat." Ye Baotian also felt very bored listening to these similar words.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has something to say."
There was a person standing outside the Golden Dragon Palace, he hurriedly walked into the Golden Dragon Palace, everyone was surprised, this person was not Liu Qishan and Liu Chengxiang who were forced to recuperate at home?
"It turned out to be Prime Minister Liu Cheng, what? Is your 'illness' cured? The accent is on the word "disease", Ye Futian deliberately asked, and there was something in the words.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has bothered."
"It's nothing, after all, you are an important minister of the court, and the country still needs you."
"I hope His Royal Highness will forgive the old minister for coming to the court so late." Liu Qishan bent down and arched his hand.
"Okay, okay, hurry up, what do you have to tell me." The prince said.
"Thank you...... I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows enough about Xuelu City. Liu Qishan said.
"Snow City? Do you mean the city managed by Wu Tian, the number one master of the imperial court? ”
"Exactly."
"Isn't it good that it guards the northern part of our country and prevents the invasion of wild beasts in the northern tundra?" Ye Weitian said.
"But as far as the minister knows, Wu Tian is secretly cultivating his own power in Xueluo City, which is the kind of force that is independent of the state and the court and belongs only to him, and the minister thinks that he has a plan."
“…… Are you saying that the city of Snow has the meaning of mutiny? Do you have proof. Ye Futian thought for a while and asked.
"Evidence...... Not enough yet. ”
"Do you know what you're doing right now?" Ye Futian's face gradually darkened, Liu Qishan was guilty of bullying the king.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please listen to me, the management of Xuelu City was handed over to Wu Tian by the first emperor, which naturally gave Wu Tian great power, Wu Tian didn't have to report to the imperial court if he wanted to do anything, he was equivalent to the king of Xuelu City, let me ask that man has no ambition, Xuelu City is a city of warriors, he Wu Tian has the top fighting force in the whole northern country, do you think he will always keep to himself for a lifetime? Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are also an ambitious person, and everything you have is obtained by force, you ...... You should understand. ”
“……”
"Your Highness's enthronement ceremony is next month, this is the northern country, this is your land, will you allow another 'king' to exist in your country? Isn't this a shame to the whole world? ”
Ye Futian is a domineering person, and I have to say that every word of Liu Qishan was engraved into his heart.
"Therefore, the minister believes that the military power of Xuelu City should be withdrawn, and it cannot be laissez-faire." Liu Qishan said.
Ye Futian clenched his fists and thought, thinking about it carefully, what Liu Qishan said seemed to be reasonable.
"The minister thinks that Liu Gong's words are not unreasonable." Lu Ren said suddenly.
"The minister also thinks ......"
"The minister seconded the ......"
Lu Ren's words stirred up a thousand waves, and there were people in the hall who constantly echoed Liu Qishan's words.
"This matter must not be radicalized, first send someone to Xuelu City for me and inform Wu Tian to come to the Imperial City." Ye Gaitian didn't want to tear his face with Wu Tian, he needed to talk to Wu Tian.
"Your Highness, leave this matter to me." Lu Ren took on this task.
……
A few days later, the city of Snowfall.
"What! That's what the prince said! Wu Tian was surprised.
"That's right, the crown prince asks you to personally go to the imperial city within ten days to hand over all the military power and management rights of Xuelu City." The messenger said.
It's incredible, I didn't expect the prince to act so decisively, he didn't care about the power in his hands at all, could it be that he knew about the restless situation inside Xuelu City?
At this time, he can't show even more softness, the prince's attitude and way of acting are so tough, he can't be sure that he will be ready to get rid of him directly in the next step, he can't follow the prince.
"Go back and tell the prince that I, Wu Tian, have made a great contribution to the northern country, and I hope that the prince will think calmly, the affairs of Xueluo City are complicated, and Wu has no time to go to the imperial city for this trip." Wu Tian said.
"Since City Lord Wu said so, I should convey it."
……
"Bold!!"
In the study, Prince Ye overturned the desk directly.
"Is this Wu Tian really saying that?"
"That's true, my envoy was even beaten and insulted by him, if the prince wants to see it, I can immediately ask him to come to the prince to see, there are bruises and hematomas all over my body, I can't bear to look at it." Prime Minister Lu shook his head and said.
"What do you even say that the right given by the first emperor will never be returned! Phew! He Wu Tian is a snowy city, and he really thinks of himself as a character! Raise troops for me! I'm going to take Snow Castle! ”
"Yes."
……
Everything is naturally Lu Ren's masterpiece, and the messenger is his person, as long as he walks through the form, it is not up to him Lu Ren to say what to convey.
To be exact, it is Ye Lingyun who has the final say.
There is a peach blossom forest on the outskirts of the vast city, which is full of charming peach blossoms, and there is a small wooden house in the depths of the peach blossoms, small bridges and streams, birds and flowers.
The carriage stopped in the courtyard outside the cabin, and only a beautiful maid stood in the courtyard, Lu Ren got out of the carriage and asked the maid, "Miss Mei, is Your Highness there?" ”
"The young master is by the stream."
"Okay, I'll go find him."
After walking a short distance, you can see a young man leaning against the peach blossom tree by the stream and drinking.
"Is he ready to send troops?" The young man asked, putting down his glass.
"As you expected."
"Hehe, not bad, not bad."
This extremely dashing young man is the second prince of the northern kingdom who was driven out of the imperial city - Ye Lingyun.
"Then what does Your Highness think should be the next step in dealing with the crown prince?"
"What's next? Well...... I haven't even taken the first step yet. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you think I let Ye Futian attack Xuelu City in order to weaken his power?"
"Isn't it?"
"No, Xueluo City is a disgusting and disgusting place of decay, I can't let it stay in the Northern Kingdom, what I want to destroy is actually Xueluo City, as for the so-called weakening of Ye Shutian's power, huh...... This is kind of incidental. ”
"That leaf covers the sky......"
"As for Ye Futian, I have a better way to leave it to him." The young man drank the wine in his hand.
Originally, Ye Lingyun wanted to get rid of Ye Futian before he ascended the throne as king, but now he had some better ideas.
Some humiliations have to be repaid with humiliation.
Ye Pantian, Ye Pantian, this throne will let you sit for a few days first.
